Encode a short message and proof it on a substrate.
Print Substrates & Optical Gauge
Calculate optical contrast ratios, specular glare attenuation, and ink-bleed tolerances when transferring design tokens to physical print media, barcodes, and dynamic QR matrices.
1. Select Physical Substrate
Premium hot-pressed 100% cotton rag paper. High fiber absorption, zero specular glare, optimal for luxury hospitality menus and editorial stationery.
2. Optical Environment & Ink Modulation
An encoded proof.
25 × 25 modules + 4-module quiet zone on each side. At 1.60 mm/module, the complete proof is 52.8 mm square.
Glare overlay: 0%; estimated module growth: 4.5%. Display size is illustrative, not a calibrated ruler. Glare and dot gain shown around this proof are estimates. Print at 100%, measure the quiet zone and module size, then test the physical output with target scanners and a verifier where required.Physical Print & Dynamic QR Guidelines
- Minimum Module Size: Choose module size from the applicable use-case specification, print process and scan distance; verify on a physical proof.
- Dot Gain Choke: Measure ink spread on the actual stock before applying compensation. The screen estimate is not a press calibration.
- Quiet Zone: Always preserve a 4-module quiet zone margin of pure substrate around all four matrix edges.
Keep one. Try another.
Pin a plate before changing the controls. Each pin keeps its own recipe and lighting context.
