File Preparation

Platform
Mac files are strongly preferred, but we can work with PC files as well
Color
All files must be in CMYK colorspace. If PMS matching is required, build files usine PMS numbers, not 4 color process values. Always supply a proof for color matching. If a proof is unavailable, a pdf position is mandatory.
