● Vector Files end in .PDF | .EPS | .AI
● Raster Files end in .JPG | .PNG | .TIF
The different between Vector and Raster Files is that Raster are made with pixels and when we expand them for large format printing they will pixelate. Whereas a Vector File can be expanded any size without losing quality.

This is the most common error when submitting a document and one of the easiest to avoid. We will do our best to warn you when checking the document, but sometimes on the proofreading computer we may already have this font installed so it will not give us any warning.
An excellent resource is Google Fonts.
https://fonts.google.com/ where you may able to find your particular font, download it and send it to us if we are the ones take care of your graphic design. Note that some fonts are free and some cost money.
The Pantone colour matching system is one of the best methods to ensuring precise colour matching. Not all printing processes use the pantone printing.
Still the best method if colour matching is important to you is to provide a Pantone Number.
From here we can match it to the nearest CMYK which our printing machines typically work from. Not all computers are calibrated the same therefore if you provide a CMYK number to us, it will not match as well as a pantone.
When precise colour matching is crucial please provide a spot colour reference with a "PANTONE" callout for solid coloured areas. CMYK colour code must also be set up to match the pantone colour code as prescribed by the PANTONE digital CMYK colour coding & matching system.
Please note that while every effort is made to match the specific colour, your computer screen and the material it is printed on may slightly differ.
Since CMYK and RGB are specific to the device they are created on, there is no general conversion formula. Instead they are done through colour management systems using colour profiles that describe that space being converted.
CMYK to RGB conversions can not be 100% exact.
