Hard Media

If electronic artwork is not available we will also reproduce your art from a technical drawing, laser print, fax, even an existing part. Please be sure all submissions are legible (IF YOU CAN’T READ IT NEITHER CAN WE). Extra art charges may apply due to complexity of art.

Color

• Save all color photos and vector images as CMYK
• Choose colors from the Pantone swatch books, rather than color combinations that look good on your monitor
• Colors from a low-end, non-color managed printer do NOT represent the color that will be printed
• Please provide any previously printed material that we may have to match color

*Professional Color Matching is available for jobs where color is critical.

MOST COMMON PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED:

• Missing Fonts
• Electronic media files do not match supplied hard copy
• Misspellings and improper grammar in supplied media
• Type modified using the style palette (i.e. bold or italic) rather than by using the appropriate font from the font list
• Low resolution or missing graphics
• Line art (logos) saved in 300 dpi grayscale format, rather than 1200 dpi bitmap format
• Embedded graphics from vector files not supplied
