FILE PREPARATION -- proofing
options
· Black and White (faxable)
· Color Laser (mailable) ~ colors shown are NOT
color-matched
· Color-Managed Epson proof (mailable) ~ best format
for process work, shows best color accuracy for process and spot color
work.
· PDF (most popular) ~ Ideal for fast electronic
proofing. However, it is not a recommended format to check for color accuracy as monitors and
printers will vary from one to another.
Important: your quote is dependant on submission of properly
prepared art. If your art requires extra recreation, or if you have submitted art in a format we
cannot accept, and we need to re-work the art, your project will be subject to additional artwork
charges.
