Tulostusmääritykset

Tulostusmääritykset, known in English as print specifications or print requirements, refer to the detailed instructions and parameters that define how a document or design should be reproduced in print. These specifications are crucial for ensuring that the final printed product accurately reflects the intended design and meets quality standards.

Key elements of tulostusmääritykset typically include the desired print size or dimensions of the final output, such as A4, A3, or custom dimensions. Color mode is another critical factor, with CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) being the standard for professional printing, as opposed to RGB (Red, Green, Blue) used for digital displays. Bleed, which is extra image area that extends beyond the trim edge of the page, is specified to prevent unprinted edges after trimming. Crop marks, also known as trim marks, indicate where the printed sheet should be cut.

Furthermore, tulostusmääritykset define the resolution, usually measured in dots per inch (DPI), which affects the sharpness and detail of the printed image. The type of paper or substrate to be used, including its weight (grammage), finish (e.g., matte, gloss, uncoated), and color, is also an important specification. Font embedding or outlining is often specified to ensure that the correct fonts are used, even if they are not installed on the printing system. Finally, the number of colors and any special printing techniques, such as spot colors or varnishes, are clearly outlined. Adhering to these specifications is vital for achieving consistent and high-quality print results.
