Verification of file dimensions against the product's guideline dimensions, or in the case of non-standard files, dimensions defined in the system.
Verification of correct use of the template area: e.g. artwork fills the entire template area and not just up to red lines; all key elements placed within the areas marked by red, blue, and yellow lines; correct understanding of the product confirmed by the layout, such as proper placement of logos on flags, graphics on premium tent legs, or the layout for more complex products like Vario Gate or Vario Crown.
Verification of file resolution: 120 ppi for full-scale files, or 1200 ppi for files scaled at 1:10.
Verification of color mode (CMYK) and Fogra39 color profile.
Verification of the “Overprint” print attribute.
Verification of overall graphic quality: graphic designer’s assessment of whether logos, backgrounds, patterns, etc., are optimized for the print size and will appear sharp, saturated, and correctly colored.
For multi-element files intended to form a single composition – verification of proper alignment and preparation, including shared areas.
Removal of unnecessary elements left by the client, such as crop marks, template frames, or visible flaws.
Verification of black color settings in case of an evident intention to use rich black.
Verification of unflattened or non-vectorized fonts used in text.
Verification of the flattening result for elements with transparency effects.
Color consistency check between files, e.g. different shades of tent walls or legs.
Verification of logo correctness, typos, or the meaning of the content on graphics, e.g. a man without an arm, a missing letter, or a blue banana.
Review of illogical or unclear layouts and compositions.
Inconsistencies caused by uploading graphics with different color profiles over time.
Color differences from a client’s brand book, unless this requirement was specifically reported.
Errors resulting from poor preparation of highly complex files using layers or advanced visual effects (gradients, tonal transitions), or hidden Pantone or RGB layers that may be automatically converted to CMYK.
