Printing Guidelines for Custom Event Carpet
When preparing your print materials according to the guidelines below, you’ll ensure a high-quality result with accurate color reproduction on your custom-printed carpet.
Keep in mind that while the roll width is 200 cm, the usable print area is 190 cm. Please account for this in your design.
File Specifications
- File Size: It’s best to create your file at a 1:1 scale. If this isn’t possible for large areas, the scaling must be a simple ratio like 1:2, 1:4, or 1:8.
- File Format: All files must be submitted in PDF format. Please contact us in advance if you need to use a different file format.
- Note: We charge 69€/hour + VAT for preparing non-PDF files for print and for any necessary file corrections.
- Compatibility: All files must be PC-compatible and should not be password-protected.
Color and Resolution
- Colors: All colors must be defined in CMYK format. For pure black, please use c=100, m=100, y=100, and k=100.
- Logos and Text: All logos and text must be converted to vector format (or outlined).
- Resolution: The final resolution at a 1:1 scale must be at least 75 dpi. For example, if you create your file at a 1:10 scale, the resolution should be 750 dpi. This ensures that when the image is enlarged tenfold, the final resolution remains at 75 dpi.

- Submitting Your Files: Please send all files via wetransfer.com to the following email address: myynti@expomatto.fi
- Ordering: You can place your order through our online store, but the print-ready file should be submitted via email. Alternatively, you can place your order directly by emailing myynti@expomatto.fi. In this case, we will send an electronic invoice.
