Customization Possibilities
Screen-print
The film required for screen printing must be laid out on the correct side, with corresponding register crosses for multi-colored prints. We print all colors close to your color specification (Pantone, HKS, RAL). Please note the following for halftone prints: We print in a 40 screen (=40 lines per cm), the screen ruling is between 20 and 80 %. - Prints on metal ballpoint pens are only scratch-resistant to a limited extent, despite optimum coordination of all printing components.
Pad-print
Films must be created laterally reversed.
Here, too, we require the specification of a Pantone, HKS or RAL color.
The following applies to halftone prints: Printing is done in a 48 screen, the screen ruling is between 20 and 80 % - Minimum line width for screen and pad printing films positive 0.15 mm and negative 0.3 mm.
- When screen and pad printing, please note that the desired Pantone, HKS or RAL color tone can usually only be achieved on colored shafts with an additional white underlay (=another printing color).
- Prints on metal ballpoint pens are only scratch-resistant to a limited extent, despite optimum coordination of all printing components.
Ätzung
The films must be applied in the correct orientation. Depending on the substrate of the surface to be etched, the etching will appear in a dark grey color. One film is required per 2,000 etchings (i.e. for 10,000 etchings, for example, we need 5 films). Attention: Maximum line width of lettering and logos 1.2 mm.
Lasergravur
For laser engraving, we require vector files to achieve an optimal engraving result. Texts contained in the print image must be converted into paths to avoid problems with fonts.
Digitale Folie
For laser engraving, we require vector files to achieve an optimal engraving result. Texts contained in the print image must be converted into paths to avoid problems with fonts.
DIGITALDRUCK
In this process, the logo is printed directly onto the ballpoint pen and is used on our Crest (on the clip) and Tri-Star (on the clip and barrel) models. Digital printing is particularly suitable for multi-colored logos and color gradients. The colors are converted to CMYK and can therefore deviate slightly from the Pantone values.
Daten
We prefer vector files (Pdf, Adobe Illustrator CC) so that an optimal print image can be achieved. The templates can be enlarged and reduced in size without loss of quality. Texts contained in the print image must be converted to paths to avoid problems with fonts. Files that can also be used are pixel files (Photoshop). Please ensure that the print image has a correspondingly high resolution (at least 600 dpi) or that the print image is larger than the final print format. This is the only way to ensure that a clean print image is achieved.
