| 1. |
Use ONLY
CMYK colour scheme when working with your
artworks.
The use of other colour scheme such as RGB and
Pantone will cause an inaccurate output of colours. |
| 2. |
DO NOT depend entirely
on the colour displayed on your monitor.
Due to the different colour displays on various
monitors, printed colour of end product may differ
from what appears on screen. |
| 3. |
Always refer to our
SPOT COLOUR CHART while working on spot colours.
You are advised to refer to our SPOT COLOUR CHART
while working on spot colour BIZ-documents and
brochures. This makes the outcome match your desired
result more accurately. You must also make provision
for the discrepancy between the artwork printed
from laser or ink jet printers and the actual
product from the commercial offset press. |
| 4. |
Color toning cannot less than 8% |
