For an exact match, we use standard PMS (Pantone Matching System ®) colors featuring more than a thousand shades and hues with specific, universal color numbers.

You can view an online Pantone color chart here, but computer monitors vary, and what you see on your screen isn’t always what you will see in person.

It can cost more to use the specialized PMS inks, and some items cannot be imprinted using PMS colors. If an exact match isn’t necessary, or you are ordering a product where PMS color processing is not available, we will work hard to match the color and you probably won’t notice the difference.

There are two forms of computer art: vector art and bitmap art. Bitmap art is made up of a rectangular grid of pixels created by several dots of color. Vector art is made up of lines, (paths) with starting and ending points or coordinates. Vector art is preferred over bitmap because images can be re-sized without distortion. When a bitmap is enlarged, each square becomes larger, resulting in a jagged image.

Bitmap files end in BMP, GIF, JPG, JPEG and PCX. CAPTION:

Vector files end in EPS and AI, and sometimes PDF, CDR, PS and WMF.
