COLOR PRINTING Artwork Submission Guidelines __________________________________________________________ Imprinting is performed at the Pina Zangaro factory. Please read and follow the directions outlined below so your order may be processed on schedule. __________________________________________________________ * * REMOTE DIGITAL COLOR PRINTING provides an excellent opportunity for electronic transfer of artwork and quick production capabilities onto varying types of surfaces and products printed. While providing a fast, digital rendition onto a product, this process is not the same as printing onto paper, and surface conditions, resulting in color variance should be considered when preparing and submitting color artwork files for production. __________________________________________________________ * * PRODUCTION RESULTS VARY: Use of remote services does not allow for traditional "press check" precautions, and variances are to be expected in color rendition. Every digital printing operation will experience a unique variance to reality. Use of our services requires an understanding of the expectations for color variance. All purchases of merchandise and imprinting are final and non-refundable. __________________________________________________________ * * RECENT PRE-CONDITIONS: Use of WHITE in the digital printer often results in a striation pattern due to its thickness compared to other colors used. __________________________________________________________ Color Printing Artwork Requirements __________________________________________________________ * * Production is performed upon one style of merchandise per job assignment. __________________________________________________________ 1.
