Details of the content

For design-oriented print data that looks just as good printed as it does on the desktop.

And anyway, what does a graphic designer have to consider to ensure that the printout runs like clockwork? Immerse yourself in the world of design & print, CMYK & RGB, desktop & print. You can expect exquisite content with a lot of impact, for results with maximum expression!
If you're thinking of off-the-shelf products à la business cards, you're wrong!
