How long is my artwork stored?

What are PMS Colors?
PMS stands for Pantone Matching System. It allows a color to be selected that is not open to subjectivity.  Please note computer monitors display colors in RGB format so the color that you see on your screen may not be accurately match the actual corresponding color on the PMS color chart.

What is the difference between a proof and a pre-production proof?
A proof is a sample of what your imprint will look like via email and a pre-production proof is having your imprint placed on an actual item before you order.

What is the difference between spot color and 4-color process printing?
Spot color refers to printing in which each color is printed with its own ink. It’s best when the image only contains 1 to 3 different colors. Full color or 4 color process printing use a combination of 4 inks: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black to produce all other colors.
