DTP Specialist: 4 Inkscape Master Templates
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
**DTP & Pre-Press Expert: Create 4 Technical Master Templates (SVG/Inkscape) for Print-on-Demand Signage**
### Project Description:
We are looking for a precision-oriented **DTP (Desktop Publishing) and Pre-Press Specialist** to build a technical framework for our custom signage production. We use **Teeinblue (Shopify)** as our personalization engine and need rock-solid Master-Templates to ensure 100% accuracy for laser cutting and high-end printing.
**Your Task:**
Create 4 Technical Master Files in **Inkscape (SVG)** for the following sign sizes:
* **Sizes:** 40x10cm, 50x12.5cm, 60x15cm, and 80x20cm.
* **Requirements:** All files must be set up at **300 DPI** with absolute mathematical precision.
**Technical File Structure (Layer-based):**
1. **Bleed/Production Layer:** Full artboard size including +5mm bleed on all sides.
2. **Pre-Press Cutline:** A dedicated technical vector layer with a 100% Magenta hairline for the cutting software.
3. **Visual Safety Zone:** A non-printing guide/frame 3mm inside the cutline for customer orientation.
4. **Mockup Overlay Asset:** A high-quality visual representation of the cutline (e.g., subtle stroke/shadow) including accurate drilling hole positions (2 and 4-hole patterns).
5. **Layout Raster/Grid:** Set up 5 standardized text-layout structures (1-line, 2-line, 3-line, and asymmetrical 1/3 to 2/3 ratios) to act as a "blueprint" for our design placements.
**Your Profile:**
* Proven experience in **DTP and Pre-Press** workflows (Print-on-Demand experience is a major plus).
* Expert-level skills in **Inkscape** (not just Illustrator – we need the final files in SVG/Inkscape format).
* Deep understanding of bleed, safe zones, and technical vector paths for CNC/Laser cutting.
* Ability to deliver pixel-perfect work where 1mm difference matters.
**Deliverables:**
* 4 Master SVG files (organized with clear layer naming).
* Exported PNG assets for our web-configurator (Mockup & Frame overlays).
* A short documentation of the coordinates used for the layout grids.
