Please Read Our Valuable Recommendations Before Creating / Saving / Sending Design Files

Resolution - Photos and graphics MUST have at least 300 dpi.  Images with less than 300 dpi are often pixilated when printed.

Color Mode - Photos should be saved in CMYK mode not RGB to ensure accurate printing results.  If you are unable to save in CMYK, please contact us. Monitors use the RGB color model. Printers use CMYK which can create most, but not all, of the colors in the RGB color model.  White is typically considered the absence of ink, unless being used to highlight text or graphics.

Pantone Matching System - A color reproduction standard in which colors are identified by an independent number.  We can precisely match colors and consistency.
