Our Roll-Ups are printed in proof quality with EPSON Ultrachrome HDX inks on the printing system with the most precise colour reproduction on the entire printer market. In addition to cyan, magenta, yellow and black, the printing system features three additional colours – orange, green and violet – which enable enormous colour coverage, for example for Pantone or HKS colours on the Roll-Up.

Your print data is processed on the most modern Fiery XF systems and handled including special colours, overprinting, trapping etc. Our colour management system processes CMYK, RGB, greyscale and LAB colour spaces exactly as with a proof and passes the data on to our printers in the highest print quality. The colour reproduction on the Roll-Up corresponds exactly to your ordered colour space; you can place our Roll-Up in ISOCoatedV2 with two PANTONE special colours directly next to your 6-colour printed image brochure and will have a precise match of the colour rendering. This makes our Roll-Ups perfect for demanding motifs and photographs or for the display of special colours.

Our Roll-Up print is approximately 30 centimetres longer than the pure Roll-Up motif. Below the motif is a 10 cm high white area, below which you will normally find the job ticket rolled up invisibly in the cassette with important information about the print and print data, RIP, printer, rendering intent and the print profiles used. In addition, the UGRA-Fogra media wedge CMYK 3.0 is printed. After printing, the media wedge is measured and the test certificate confirming proof quality is printed below the job ticket. You can only see this additional information if you pull the Roll-Up a bit further than necessary out of the cassette. If you set up the Roll-Up normally, this information is not visible.

We use a satin-white microporous-coated PET film made of polyester with light-opaque grey antistatic backing for the colour-accurate Roll-Ups.

The Roll-Up film is suitable for extremely high-resolution print images. Due to its good rigidity and strength, the durable film offers excellent dimensional stability even under various climatic conditions and is therefore very easy to use. It is dimensionally stable, tear-resistant and light-opaque.

The satin-white coating provides excellent colour reproduction and enables previously unknown photographic qualities in combination with our Epson Ultrachrome HDX pigment inks. The high-quality satin surface minimises disturbing reflections.

Most customers send us PDF data. We accept PDF, EPS, TIF and JPEG files for proofs.

Black and white, CMYK or files with Pantone and HKS special colours. PDF files in PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3 or PDF/X-4 format are optimal for proofs.

PDF/X-1a (widely used outside Europe) and PDF/X-3 are traditionally print-optimised PDF files. These ISO standards ensure, for example, that fonts and images are embedded. They are recognised and desired as a standard for the exchange of print data at most print shops.

PDF/X-4 is the new print standard for PDF files. Unlike PDF/X-3, PDF/X-4 files can contain transparency. PDF/X-3 was also a media-neutral standard, but 99% of all X-3 files contain only CMYK colours and special colours. PDF/X-4 is still rarely requested, but increasingly desired by print shops because with X-4 data the separation can be placed as late as possible in the production chain. The standard therefore offers many advantages, but also risks.

Proof GmbH is the only company in Germany to be certified by PDFX-ready for proof output of PDF/X-4 data and has been a member of PDFX-ready for several years.

If you want exact information about the advantages and disadvantages of the respective formats, we recommend the PDFX-ready pages. Here you will find all information, guidelines for PDF creation and Acrobat creation and Acrobat test profiles for PDF/X-4 files.

All three PDF/X standards can be selected and created when exporting in all common layout programmes.

After completing your order, you can upload one or more files for each item.
Each file can be up to 2 GB in size.

An example: You order 10 in DIN A3 format and 2 in DIN A2 format. After completing your order, you can upload a file with 10 pages in DIN A3 format for the DIN A3 format and two files with one page each in DIN A2 format for the two DIN A2 formats. If we are to make several copies, please let us know in the item message.

The image shows how the upload area for an A4 proof looks before the upload.

Now select your file to be proofed and upload it, or drag it into the upload window.

After the upload you can check your proof data again, download it, delete it or upload other data.

Now complete your order by pressing the "UPLOAD(S) COMPLETE, FINALISE ORDER" button.

Your order can no longer be edited by you. We receive the message that we can now start with the data check and proof.

Even after completing your order, you can view it at any time, but you cannot change it.

If your data is faulty during the data check, we will reopen the order so you can delete the faulty data and upload new files. After that, please close the order again.

Your uploaded data will remain on our server for at least 1 year and can be viewed by you during this time and downloaded for checking.
