01 About us

Family business.
Second generation.

Geoprint, s.r.o., a family company, has been on the printing market since 1993. Today it is run by the second generation of the family – experience combined with youthful energy.

Our original business, which gave the company its name, was map printing. It soon grew into the whole range of print production: newspapers and magazines, books and publications, catalogues, calendars, brochures and manuals.

Part of the printing house is a graphic studio that turns your idea into professional, print-ready data. The bookbinding department then completes the whole production process – so everything is made under one roof.

Quality management system certified to ISO 9001 since 2007.

04 How colour printing works

Four colours.
One sheet.

Every colour print is really one sheet printed four times: cyan, magenta, yellow and black, each from its own printing plate. For it to become a picture, all four must line up to a hundredth of a millimetre. That is called registration.

  1. Paper

    First, a blank sheet

    Before anything happens, we choose the paper. Coated, uncoated, recycled, which weight – if you are not sure, we will advise.

  2. Cyan

    Sky and shadows

    The first plate prints cyan. On its own it looks a bit like a blueprint, but it carries all the cool tones of the image.

  3. Magenta

    Warmth and skin tones

    Magenta adds the reds and pinks. Together with cyan it already makes purples and deep blues.

  4. Yellow

    Light and greens

    Yellow is almost invisible on its own, but without it there would be no green, no orange and no sunshine on the facade.

  5. Key / black

    Line and contrast

    Black adds depth, text and sharp edges. And on the Rapida we can add a fifth, spot colour too.

  6. Registration

    Now it has to line up

    All four plates exactly on top of each other. This is where you can tell a printer. Ours has lined up since 1993.

05 Bookbinding

From sheets
to finished products.

The bookbinding department is where the whole production process is completed. Here we refine printed matter with lamination or partial varnish.

Our die-cutting machines cut company presentation folders or product labels with euro hang tabs. We fold thin papers and crease thicker ones, perfect-bind books and bulletins, sew-bind brochures and manuals, and provide TWIN wire binding for calendars.

06 Print data

Sending
print data?

A few things that save time for you, for us and for the paper.

  1. Print-ready PDFExport your files as a print PDF (InDesign, CorelDRAW or similar).
  2. CMYK coloursConvert colours to CMYK, or to greyscale if you want Pantone spot colours.
  3. 3 mm bleedIf the print runs to the edge, the image must be 3 mm larger than the trim size.
  4. Crop marksMark the trim size with crop marks.
  5. 300 dpiImages need at least 300 dpi. What looks great on screen is not enough for print.
  6. Black overprintOur RIP overprints 100 % black (0/0/0/100) automatically. Let us know if you do not want that.
