A clean black and white copy of each color separately on glossy
paper is best for scanning.
Each color clearly indicated with composite for reference.
-Color referencing-
For more precise color matching of spot colors, a
reference number from the Pantone color match system (or other color
systems) accompanied by a swatch will help us ensure a better match
to your colors.
-File Types Explanation-

These are only our preferred file formats and other files may be
usable depending on application in which they will be used.
(ex1. a .jpg file off the internet may work for a small label but
will not work to print a large banner)
(ex2. a .doc file containing text to be used but not for artwork)
As always, we can recreate existing art to Make It Work
if necessary.
When e-mailing files please also fax a picture of the art to (585)235-8376
so we know what we are trying to open.
