Color Space and Profiling for All Types of Work

For the best results, artwork should be setup CMYK using the “U.S. Web Coated Swop v2” color profile. For the richest black, define as 50/50/50/100. Provide color proofs if critical color match is required. If PMS colors are used within a 4 color process file, Please indicate each PMS color used. Please Note: not all PMS colors can be matched perfectly using 4 color process.

Popular Programs Supported

General Tips for Preparing Artwork

When possible, supply all working documents, links and necessary fonts. If this is not possible, output a print-ready document with all fonts converted to paths and all links embedded. Do not include unnecessary or undesired elements, such as placement lines or proof information which you do not intend to be printed on the final product. Please indicate if a file does or does not include bleed, and at what scale it was produced.
