GENERAL INFORMATION
 

COLORS
All colors vary with the printing process, depending on the surface and the color of material printed on. Our standard ink colors are shown below. For PMS matches or custom color matches, a charge of $35.00 per color (v) will apply.

ARTWORK
Production-ready, pre-separated, black-on-white, laser printed, spot color artwork is preferred. Electronic files should be submitted in Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop (Macintosh preferred). All type should be converted to outlines to eliminate font issues. All art files and fonts used within the final design must also be submitted with the final master files.

Artwork submitted in any other software may incur art charges. Typesetting and/or artwork services available at $85.00/hr. (v) and may apply if useable artwork is not supplied. CDs are the preferred disk type, although e-mailed art files are also accepted. TIFF, PDF or EPS file formats are preferred. Web formats such as GIF (unacceptable), and JPG often don’t contain enough digital information to produce acceptable artwork and should be avoided.

Always include a hard copy of artwork with order. If artwork is e-mailed, please fax us a hard copy, too. Submit artwork to: art@NEPpromotions.com.
