DTP graphics requirments 

1.) Export to pdf x-1a, with CMYK color profile. Add a 3 mm bleed (overlap).

2.) Please, supply print data and preview data separately. The print is just a graphic without any guide lines. The previews have guide lines across the graphics.

3.) The cassette sticker data must have a clipping (cropping) path, which is a vector line along where it will be cropped (sliced). The line can be in the print graphic, no matter what color. We repaint it anyway. But it must be a vector.

4.) If you are ordering cassettes with Dolby noise reduction, than Dolby B logo must be included on J-card and on sticker. And must be very good readable for listener. This is very important!

5.) Top Analog ID on the outer side panel of J-card. Please, write on the side TA*****,  Instead of stars " ***** ", please enter the code wich we will send to your email. 

We are recommending to inlude Top Analog name on the outer side of J-card as it is in template. All proffesionally made cassettes by serious duplication companies have codes and the name of duplication factory or the name or label on the outer side panel of J-cards. It is a certain sign of quality for the end customer.

6.) Please fill our credits somewhere on the J-card. Here is example:

    - mastered by *, studio Top Analog (*we send you name of our mastering engineer wich was working on your masters)

    - technical cassette mastering by * ® & © (*we send you name as is written above)

    - duplicated & made by Top Analog *month and year of made*

​

7.) Be careful of wrong direction of text on a outer second and third card of a J-card! This is very often mistake of our customers. This direction of text representation is standardized and all cassettes professionally produced by duplication factories should meet this standard. Again, this is a definite indication of quality.

8.) cassette sticker must including copyright mark as : TOP ANALOG 2024 ® & ©

9.) We are recommending to include copyright trademark ® & © under credits too.
