|
|
| Q: What format do you accept? |
|
A: For almost all printing jobs, vector artwork, such as an .AI file or .EPS file. It is imperative that all text outlines are converted to lines/curves.
|
|
| Q: What if I don't have the artwork format required? |
|
A: Send us what you have and we can evaluate whether we can recreate it or if there is a better solution. The higher the resolution the better. Typically 300 dpi or more is preferred.
|
|
| Q: What's PMS color matching? |
|
A: PMS colors are the most precise way to get the color you want from a printer, regardless of what machine, computers, or monitors he/she uses. PMS colors are from the Pantone color guide, which indexes each color and categorizes them by number codes. This is the universal language of color for printers, designers, and advertising professionals.
|
|
| Q: Is PMS color matching necessary? |
|
A: Most of our orders do not request PMS color matching because our clients are happy with the final product and imprint. In the printing world, there is an acceptable standard of 10% variance in color. We, however, find 10% to be too high so we do our best to get you as close to your desired color as possible. Most customers are happy with our printing because our factories use high quality machines.
