Office (cont.) Magnets IMPRINTS Color Matching
Fabric Surface Mouse Pads Minimum Line Weights & Type Sizes Due to the specialized process used to create fabric surface Mouse Pads,there will be some dot gain on the final image (100% to 400%).This can fill in small type and reverse or“knock out”art.Minimum font size is 12 point.Minimum size for reverse text is 18-point.Minimum line thickness is .5 point.Minimum reverse line thickness is 1 point. If font sizes at or below these minimums are critical,then a Firm Surface Mouse Pad is recommended. Firm Surface Mouse Pads Minimum Line Weights & Type Sizes Text can be as small as 6 point on most fonts.Lighter fonts may need to be larger.Lines must be at least .5 point thick ( ).Reversed lines must be at least 1 point thick ( ).Sharp con- trasts in the imprint colors on Firm Surface Mouse Pads may cause the cursor to skip or jump. Bleeds There is no extra charge for bleeds.Art intended to print to the edge must extend 1/8" outside the cut line. Critical elements of your image must remain 1/4" inside the cut line .
Magnets are printed with 4-color process inks as opposed to spot color inks.The 4-color process allows you to print as many different colors as you want for one price.All non- standard imprint colors will be converted to the closest 4-color process match.A perfect match cannot be guaranteed. When requesting a non-standard imprint color, please provide the color number or a color sample (swatch or photograph). Please note that when referencing a non-standard color number, we match to the non-standard color number coated color values.When color is critical, we recommend a product proof. Please submit files in the CMYK color mode only. RGB files will be converted to 4-color process (CMYK), which may result in color shifts. Raster images (digital photos) should be at least 300 DPI at 100% final size. Due to the digital artwork printing process, using placed raster or photograph images limits our ability to make color corrections. Minimum Line Weights & Type Sizes Text can be as small as 6 point on most fonts.Lighter fonts may need to be larger.Lines must be at least .5 point thick ( ).Reversed lines must be at least 1 point thick ( ). Screens When a file contains a screen, it must be at no less than 10%.Anything less will not print properly. Borders Borders are not recommended along the edges of magnet products.However,art intended to print as a border must be formatted 1/16" inside the die line and extend 1/16" beyond the die line. Bleeds There is no extra charge for bleeds.Art intended to print to the edge must extend 1/16" outside the cut line.On Picture Frame Magnets,the inner cut-out artwork should bleed 1/16" onto the outer frame. Always provide a layout and a hard copy of your art so that we will know how you want your magnets to look.There is a 1/16" variance on all magnets when cutting the final product. Provide a color composite of multicolor images when sending in production-ready art or send it in color,digitally (VECTOR ART preferred). If color matching is critical,a product proof is recommended.
