General Instructions
	All image files should be CMYK. (If not CMYK, conversions will be done at additional cost.)
	Fonts should either be converted to outlines or provided with your files. If providing Postscript Type1 be sure to send both screen and printer fonts.
	Please provide hard copy layouts for all artwork.
	If Pantone colors are used please indicate on hard copy.
	Any critical colors such as logos or corporate identity colors should be either defined as Pantone Coated Spot color or a color chip must be provided for matching.
	All images should have an effective resolution of at least 150 dpi at final size. (For large vinyl banners resolution can be lower with acceptable results.)
	Please add ¼" bleeds where applicable and do not place anything critical within a ¼" margin of the trim edge.
