Artwork supplied with raw fonts will be submitted for client re-supply.
For offset printing, the standard minimum printable type size is 5pt. For reversed out text, larger type size is preferable. For screen-printing, the standard minimum type size is 6pt.

Bleed is a minimum extra 3mm of background fill/image for every edge that is
to be trimmed.
All artwork (excluding CD face) should include a minimum Bleed of 3mm where required.
Do not include Bleed in your CD Face artwork. (Always include Bleed in all other artwork)

All full colour artwork should be saved in CMYK profile at a minimum of
300dpi.

Ensure that any linked or embedded images are also at 300dpi.

Include registration / printers marks, key lines, emboss, special finishes, internal die lines etc on separate layers.

All colours should be clearly assigned on the artwork by a colour “legend”.
This includes spot colours & finishes, white and reversed out “disc silver”.

Ensure all Overprint and Auto Trap/Bleed settings are turned OFF.
Where possible, supply layered vector artwork or 300dpi artwork.
Rasterizing any font or vector data will contribute to “saw –tooth” effect. In most cases this effect is very minor & invisible without magnification, but can be much worse at lower resolution / increased size.

It is important to note that this can be avoided altogether by supplying vector files, and minimised with uncompressed or 300 dpi files.

If art involves a small (1-5) number of solid colours, it is highly recommended
that PANTONE’s be selected to achieve optimal match.

Spot Colours must be clearly specified in all orders (where applicable).

Spot Colours must be clearly assigned in the supplied artwork files.

If accurate colour matching is important QUOTE A PMS NUMBER FOR REFERENCE or CONTACT acson TO DISCUSS PROOFING OPTIONS.

While acson makes every effort to match supplied samples or hardcopy printouts when requested, it remains the sole responsibility of the client to supply accurate colour information.
