General Guidelines:
Four-color process printing is used for reproducing high-quality graphics with photo-quality images. Digitally created process images should be created in or converted to CMYK format.
Proofing Notes:
Please note any color change in the image when converting from RGB to CMYK and adjust colors as needed. Resolution cannot simply be increased in the program if working from a low-resolution file. Ideal resolution for images is 300 DPI.
Color proofs are made from the digital file and may vary slightly from your computer monitor or color printer. The final printed product may also vary slightly from the color proof due to the differences between printing and proofing methods. We cannot guarantee exact PMS color match but we will try to come as close as possible.
Acceptable Software:
Adobe Illustrator: Save as an EPS, PDF, or AI file. Create outlines for all text and embed all images.
Adobe Photoshop: Save as a TIF or PSD.
