ARTWORK SPECIFICATIONS


Vector files or high-res images are ideal for printing

  • Avoid artwork files with heavy compression or soft anti-aliased edges.

  • Mock-ups are encouraged

GRAPHIC DESIGN AND CLEAN UP


Original artwork design and artwork clean-up starts at $45 per hour. Low-res and blurry artwork files that are not ideal for printing may need to be reworked for quality printing.


MOCK-UPS


We offer complimentary mock-ups to assure that the final product matches the client’s vision and expectations.   Mock-ups are an approximation of how the final product will look.  Please review carefully and get in touch with any questions prior to approving the mock-up.  Once the mock-up is approved the layout and art is final.


COLOR MATCHING


For custom colors we recommend submitting Pantone Coated PMS colors as the most accurate way to ensure we print the exact color for your design.


We can pick colors closest to the artwork on the screen which may be close but is less accurate than selecting and mixing specific Pantone colors.
