For printed products such as a business card, postcard, flyer or any single- or double-sided product, it's important to know how we interpret the front and the back based on your file and the print settings.
Front = first page of the PDF
Back = second page of the PDF
When interpreting the print file, only the page order of the PDF matters:
- The front is always the first page of the uploaded file,
- and the back is its second page (if there is one).
How do you specify the print mode?
In the webshop you can choose separately:
- The print mode of the front: color, black-and-white or unprinted
- The print mode of the back: likewise color, black-and-white or unprinted
Pricing and the production settings are based on this – please always set it truthfully so that your order is accurate.
What does notation like “4+0” or “4+4” refer to?
If you have previously placed your orders using printing jargon, or the quote was prepared in this form independently of us, the following mapping may help you:
- 4 = color printing (CMYK, i.e. printing four colors, even if it is e.g. only yellow)
- 1 = black-and-white printing
- 0 = unprinted (blank page)
For example:
- 4+0 → front in color, back unprinted
- 4+4 → both sides in color
- 4+1 → front in color, back black-and-white
- 1+0 → only the front, in black-and-white
This is included only as a technical explanation – in the webshop you don't have to set up your order based on these, but according to the clear, text-based options.
