SPOT COLOR GUIDELINES:
- Vector art is required for all spot color(s) printing.
- Please specify Pantone Matching System (PMS) colors or spot colors, not CMYK or RGB colors.
- Our preferred graphic program is Adobe Illustrator, but we will accept .pdf, .cdr, or .indd formats as long as the art is vector.
4 COLOR PROCESS GUIDELINES:
- Acceptable file formats are .ai (preferred), .pdf, .tif and .jpeg with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi.
- If submitting a bitmap design (non-vector), a one color vector file must also be supplied, illustrating embossing detail. See below for an example of a vector embossing file submitted along with the original bitmap file.
- If your design requires a die-cut shape or is printed to the edge of the plate or sign, please include a 1/8“ bleed on the submitted artwork.
- Pantone matches will be made as close as possible with CMYK colors.
- Please use only CMYK color palettes to create your design. This will reduce any art or color issues when converting from RGB to CMYK.
See below for examples of major color shifts
RGB artwork VS CMYK artwork
Other Problems with RGB to CMYK Conversion involve gradients, transparencies and blending modes. It is best to design your final design in CMYK to avoid major problems in outputting for print.
