SUBMITTING YOUR FILE – SUBLIMATION PRINTING GUIDE

Prepare your artwork correctly for optimal printing on the topsheet

This guide will help you prepare your print file to ensure a high-quality result on your skis, snowboards, or monoskis.

 FILE FORMAT

Accepted formats:

• PDF (recommended)
• PNG
• TIFF
• AI / PSD (with flattened layers)

Avoid compressed or low-quality files (low-resolution JPEG).

 DIMENSIONS

Respect the maximum dimensions of the support:

• ICP 8210 (345 mm)
  → max format: 1800 × 345 mm
• Ultra Light PE (500 mm)
  → max format: 1800 × 345 mm

Allow 5 to 10 mm margin (bleed) on the edges.

 RESOLUTION

• Recommended resolution: 300 dpi
• Minimum: 150 dpi (at actual size)

Insufficient resolution results in a loss of sharpness in printing.

 ORIENTATION – CRITICAL POINT

The file must be provided as a mirror (reversed) image.

The printing is done on the inside of the topsheet:
→ The image is reversed before being integrated into the ski.

If you have any doubts, we can check or correct them for you.

 COLORS

• Colorimetric mode: RGB or CMYK
• Expect a slight variation in appearance after sublimation.

Available option:
adding a white background to improve contrast and color accuracy.

 DESIGN TIPS

• Avoid excessively fine details (< 0.3 mm)
• Opt for strong contrasts.
• Anticipate the deformation related to the shape of the ski/snowboard
• Check the alignment (nose / tail / center)

SENDING THE FILE

• By email or via download link (WeTransfer, Drive…)
• Name the file clearly (e.g., project_name_version1.pdf)

Indicate :

• support type (345 mm or 500 mm)
• desired final dimensions
• white background option (yes / no)

 VERIFICATION

Before printing:

• file control
• visual validation
• adjustments if necessary

No production launch without validation.

 FINAL RESULT

Thanks to sublimation:

• the image is integrated into the material
• no extra thickness
• Total protection against scratches and abrasion
• durable high-definition rendering

 COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID

• bad resolution
• incorrect dimensions
• absence of a lost fund
• colors too dark without a white background
