in depth

You've got a really cool, dramatic photo of a panoramic landscape, vibrant with colors. This is the shot that will make your ad. But the image is grainy, some areas are blown out, others slightly out of focus. Fear not, my friend, for this is exactly the situation that inspired the creation of the nitroImprint. The bold cross-hatched pattern and assured pen strokes will turn your otherwise unusable photo into a striking visual. Not to mention that excellent contrast and definition of this technique will ensure great print reproduction.

The nitroImprint 4C can also be utilized to achieve a unique look for your magazine ads, adding a creative pattern to your images.

What we need from you

We prefer to start with your original color retouched digital file that has been approved. If the file is in RGB color mode, that is no problem.

We require a minimal file size of 300 ppi @ 100% the file size. Of course, higher resolution is even better.

What you get from us

The nitroImprint 4C conversion is delivered as a bitmapped CMYK EPS with a minimum of 300 ppi resolution.

Typically, each file is adjusted for newsprint reproduction with maximum total color density in any area of the image of under 235%.

If you want your nitroImprint 4C for magazine, packaging or another substrate reproduction, we will provide the file with profiles adjusted accordingly.

Because we supply the converted file to you as a bitmapped CMYK EPS file, it will have an embedded line screen within the range of 35 lpi to 175 lpi.

The nitroImprint 4C has a useable size range down to 85% and up to 115% of the file size.
