Art Submission Guidelines
file setup
Acceptable file format: .pdf, .psd, .psb, .jpg, .tif, .ai, .eps
*A file with complex design elements or effects has a desirable outcome in print if the file is a raster image.
color
Printing is done in CMYK color process. Ideally, file colors set with Adobe Pantone Solid Coated can deliver a targetable color match. However, Pantone colors are not a guaranteed color match unless test prints are ordered in advance for a fee. Files set with RGB colors will automatically convert to CMYK print colors. This process will cause a color shift. We do not process spot colors.
*Do not set fill colors with a CMYK value. Setting a fixed CMYK value may result in color outside the target range.
