| Please check that the details are complete before sending them. It makes sense to carry out this check on a system that was not used to create the master copies in order to be able to rule out user or system-specific defaults. Please create a folder with your company name. This folder must contain the following: the layout file, all character sets used (screen and printer character sets), all screen data and any EPS files used. | ||
| ||
| IMPORTANT: It is essential that you include a Cromalin or a proof. Any errors will become visible and the colour reproduction can be checked. Within the files, please do not mark the card margin or the state of chips, magnetic or signature stripes with a border, unless it is a graphic element that should be printed. | ||
