Please verify your files are not missing any elements before approving your proof.

No, our software will handle this internally. Providing these marks will cause delays in your order.

We can accept RGB, CMYK, SPOT Colors, and Greyscale. For rich saturated colors or photo-reproduction RGB color space is preferred. For accurate color matching using CMYK or Defined Pantone SPOT Colors will lead to higher accuracy. Greyscale is preferred for B&W printing to prevent color creep.
We employ color calibration, and normalization techniques to achieve accurate color reproduction. Images viewed on a monitor are not guaranteed to be accurate or match output. If a color is critical please request a printed proof.
Unfortunately, No. If the font is not loaded into our online system you will experience errors. Because we can not guarantee accuracy with live fonts in a file, to prevent errors please outline or convert all fonts to curves before uploading your files.
Because there are many variations of design programs and machine accuracy here are a few things we recommend before uploading your files.
Currently, No. Our design tool can only handle One set of Front and Rear artwork per product. If your project will require multiple files. Please add multiple products to your cart.
Our system is a web-to-print workflow. We have a sophisticated design tool, that can not only allow for full-blown design but will allow you to proof and adjust your artwork immediately. Because we are employing a sophisticated proofing process, the responsibility of accuracy is on you. Please take the time to verify all your information, colors, layers, and images before approving. If a Color Accuracy is critical, please provide us the expected PMS / Pantone Color code and request a physical color sample (a fee is associated) for approval.
