Digital Artwork Requirements
Image Data Formats:
Artwork is preferred in the native formats of the main graphic applications in EPS and TIF.
PMS colors must be specified Pantone coated, do not convert to process. If a color match is required but you do not have a PMS color, please supply a physical color match when submitting your order.
Please include a hard copy proof when Pantone colors need to be matched. If Pantone colors need to be matched for Photoshop files please provide a layered file. Art time maybe charged to correct flattened Photoshop files.
NOTE: Orders without indication of Pantone colors, supplied proofs or requested hard copy proofs are NOT GUARANTEED FOR COLOR.
Fonts:
Fonts must be converted to "outlines". Changes to files will require us to have the fonts used in the files and a version of the file which is editable. If fonts are not in outlines, please provide Apple fonts or TrueType fonts should changes need to be made.
