• Avoid using Inkjet prints, faxes, copies of faxes, and products with curved or rough surfaces (such as business cards), these will not be accepted.
• Multi-Color Imprints require color separation, black artwork for each color (along with registration marks) and a color composite copy for reference.
• Check for thin lines and small type. All copy should be 6 points or larger. Lines should be at least .25 points or larger.
• No larger than 8" x 14", must be flat (for use on a flatbed scanner).
