There are several aspects to custom sticker printing. Know how the process works and you will be able to get the best and optimize costs. Here are a few more tips on getting the best from custom sticker printing Adelaide based services. The design and layout You should know how the print design process works in order to get the best when you design your custom sticker. You may use a program like Word or PowerPoint to design a sticker but specific graphic design packages work better and have more printed related features. Use Coreldraw or Adobe Illustrator. These packages let you manipulate fonts and add outlines to fonts to make them stand out. You can create graphics and fill them with colour. These packages also warn you if the colours you choose are “out of gamut” which means the colours will not print well on certain printers and this brings us to the matter of printing technology. Print technology It helps to coordinate with the customer sticker printing Adelaide services and know which print technology they use. If you order one or two sheets it is likely your sticker sheet may be printed on a digital laser printer or a solvent inkjet if you specify vinyl as the substrate. Large production runs are usually handled on multicolour offset printing machines using the CMYK process while some sticker makers may use specialized screen printers that deposit a thicker layer of ink and some printing presses use Pantone spot colours where colour fidelity is of utmost importance. In general the CMYK process is the most widely used in digital laser and solvent inkjets and offset. When you use CMYK in your design make sure to use saturated purer colours for better reproduction since light pastels do not look impressive. Understand print technology and you can create better designs. Transparent and opaque substrates
Know from the start whether you will be printing on transparent or opaque substrate. It does not matter much when you use colour but if there is white then it will show up as transparent in print. Sticker makers usually print a background in white first and then overlay it with your design so it is not much of a problem. Still, it is worth knowing. Repeats This refers to the same design copied on the same sheet. Depending on the size of the design and the sheet size you can repeat the same design across and up and down the sheet. If you choose a large A3 size sheet, for example the cost per each individual sticker goes down. If your design is small, say 2x3 inches then you can get a number of copies from just one sheet or you can use different designs and get different stickers printed on the same A3 size sheet. In either case it is a good idea to put print cut marks so the printer can cut the stickers to the right size.
