Submission Checklist:

1. Use the correct template
2. Ensure correct page orientation (not upside down)
3. Double-check cover text for typos (file changes after digital previews confirmation might incur an additional fee for new exposure)
4. Ensure letters and objects (especially dots and thin lines) are large and thick enough for accurate printing
5. If you require precise colour representation, consider sending a print proof created using a professional, calibrated printer or including proof printing with your order (the proof will be shipped to you for colour assessment and confirmation prior to the main printing). CMYK proofs we offer are based on composite files, made according to the FOGRA 39 standard.
6. PANTONE colours are referenced to the PANTONE® pattern; values being compared to the proof.
