FOUR - COLOR PROCESS GUIDELINES |
|
Our
Four-color process printing is priced as a five
color job. Initial setup is $300.00(Z)
which includes a required pre-production
sample. An Adobe PhotoShop (up to CS4) CMYK file at
300 dpi minimum resolution to size is required
with .125"-.25" bleed for printing to plate edge if needed. Art must be in layers, not flattened, to enable
alteration, if necessary. If film is
provided to our specs (65 lpi, round dots,
emulsion side up positive) with a color key, the
initial pre-production setup charge is reduced to
$150.00 (Z).
Thin lines, text or large areas of solid color should
be printed as an additional spot color. White
text should be reversed from a single spot
color if possible.
4-color process screen printing does not render
precise color reproduction. |
