GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR ALL PRINTING METHODS

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. 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. 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.
