To ensure that your publication turns out exactly as you intended, please pay attention to the basic layout requirements. They will help you avoid technical corrections and speed up printing.

1. General requirements
   - Ready-made layouts are accepted for printing.
   - Publication block — PDF, page by page (not spreads).
   - If the layout is only in spreads, we will be happy to help you divide it into pages (service cost — 150 UAH).
   - Cover: PDF / PNG / TIFF / JPG (we recommend PNG or TIFF).
   - Multi-page layouts are submitted as a single file with the correct page sequence.
   - The number of pages must be even.
   - For stapled publications — a multiple of 4 (otherwise, blank pages will appear at the end).
2. Formats and sizes
   - We support A5, B5, A4 formats, as well as original sizes (within A5–A4).
   - If your layout has non-standard proportions, we will help you choose the best option or scaling.
3. Recommended margins
   - Books: 20 mm (inner), 15 mm (outer)
   - Magazines: 15 mm / 10 mm
   - Spring: from 15 mm / 10 mm. 
   These margins ensure that text and important elements do not fall under the trim or binding.
4. Technical parameters
   - Color model: CMYK
   - Resolution: 300 dpi (optimal)
   - File size: up to 1000 MB
   - The layout should be free of crop marks, watermarks, comments, or unnecessary objects
   - We recommend converting fonts to curves
   We advise avoiding complex effects, shadows, and transparencies.
5. Cover
   - Place text and important elements no closer than 10–15 mm from the edges
   - Text on the spine is possible with a block thickness of 10 mm or more
6. Lamination:
   - Glossy — default
   - Matte — +15 UAH/copy
   For best results, we recommend avoiding very dark, dense fills.
7. Important details
   - Allow 3–5 mm for trimming
   - Possible technical error in printing and trimming 1–2 mm
   For spiral-bound notebooks, take into account the presence of white margins (due to the unprinted area).
8. Additional services
   - Separation of the layout from the spreads — 150 UAH
   - ISBN registration — 2100 UAH (free for print runs of 100 copies or more)
   - Text or spine fill, flyleaf, colored ribbon — according to rates
