PRINTING SPECIFICATIONS

• Cards are printed on a 5 color offset Komori press- not on a digital press.
• Card stock is 12 pt. Cornwall, and coated both sides (you can write on the back)
• We UV coat the front, thus giving your cards a glossy beautiful finish..

• Cards needing setup or drum-scanning for artwork, slides, transparencies, and photos must be received by Wednesday the latest to make it for the Friday print run.  All graphics must be 300dpi for final print size.
• In Quark-Xpress, when using TIFFS, no picture boxes should have a fill of none.  Picture boxes with a fill of none can be used with Vector Art or a Photoshop EPS with a clipping path.
