IMPRINT COLORS
Stock Imprint Colors with NO PMS Color Match/Mix Charge:
Please note "STOCK" colors on your PO to avoid confusion. If
a PMS number is listed, the PMS color will be used and a PMS charge will
apply. PMS matches are not guaranteed due to materials printed on; we
will use the PMS ink color requested and match as close as possible.
• Due to variations in monitor displays the above colors are not
exact representations of the colors used for print.
LAMINATION MAY SLIGHTLY ALTER COLOR(S).
PMS Color Matches: For PMS color match,
add $18.75 (G) per color.
Due to variations in inks and raw materials, some matches are not possible.
We will match as close as possible. PMS charge will apply if PMS color is requested on P.O.
Four-Color Process Color Matches: PMS color matches
are not possible. We recommend that a product proof be produced to ensure
colors are correct. To insure repeat orders match the previous color,
material specs, etc.,
please include a sample of the previous magnet with the new order. Due
to variances in printing processes, an exact match to previous is not
always possible.

STANDARD ARTWORK REQUIREMENTS
Electronic Art Requirements
If you are supplying your own artwork, following these guidelines is
necessary to ensure proper print production:
We support the following software for Macintosh:
•
Adobe Illustrator
• Adobe Photoshop
• QuarkXPress
• Adobe PageMaker
• Adobe InDesign
• Acrobat PDF (Press Quality)
Microsoft electronic files generally are not acceptable as output for
print production. However, black–and–white files can be output from a high–quality laser printer and then used as camera-ready copy. Camera–ready copy is artwork that can be scanned without further preparation or changes. Halftone (screens) will not photograph well and should be avoided. The following artwork is NOT camera–ready: Drawings, letterhead, photocopies, business cards, faxes, and low resolution
laser printed artwork that is not 1200 dpi.
(Recommendation: Black and white 1200 dpi laser prints at 200% larger than actual size to be imprinted).
File Transport:
We accept electronic artwork on CD, DVD and e–mail (file size permitting). Please e–mail art files to: innovationart@magnetllc.com. We also have an FTP site available, please call for log-in details.
Hard Copies: Hard copies are not required on every order; however, on the hard copies we receive, Magnet LLC™ will review but will not proof against electronic art sent. Magnet LLC™ offers several types of proofs that can be done if needed (additional charges apply).
Changes to previously sent art must be sent to Customer Service to ensure use of new art.

Helpful Hints
• EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) file format is used to transfer PostScript
image information from one program to another. The file includes PostScript
code plus a low-resolution representation of the image. Logos, illustrations
and graphics that will be color separated should be saved as EPS files.
TIFF (Tag Image File
Format) is a widely used file format for exchanging bitmapped images
(usually scans) between applications. Black and white line art or grayscale
images should be saved as TIFF files. All grayscale artwork must be saved
at the size of the finished document at a minimum of 300 dpi—black
and white line art at a minimum of 1200 dpi. Please submit TIFF files
as a layered document, in case last minute modifications are required.
• Always provide a list of fonts used within a document. This allows
output technicians to download the appropriate fonts to their image
setter or
output device. Remember to list all fonts used with imported illustrations,
or the output device may substitute a different font.
• When supplying PostScript fonts with a job, be sure to supply the printer
fonts (also called outline fonts) and screen fonts (bitmap fonts).
Both must be available for proper output.
• When supplying fonts, be sure to supply those used in the creation of EPS files. (They will not show up in your page makeup application on the list of fonts used.)
• We do not accept TrueType or PC based fonts. Convert to outlines.
• Specify fonts and their style (bold or italic, for example)
by using the long menus in your publishing program rather than selecting
bold or italic by clicking on a style bar. The menu selection will give
you a more accurate representation of the font and style desired. On
the Mac platform, clicking on the style bar allows you to select styles
for which fonts don’t actually exist.
• Limit the number of fonts used in each job.
• Do not use serif fonts.
• Avoid saving EPS files within EPS files.
• Avoid transparencies and Illustrator filters to create shadows, they convert to low resolution files.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
Proposition 65 is a California law that has been in effect since 1986 to promote clean drinking water and keep toxic substances that cause cancer and birth defects out of consumer products. Proposition 65's formal title is "The Safe Drinking Water and
Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986." It is administered by Cal/EPA's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA).
The law requires that anyone at reasonable risk of exposure be informed when substances classified as toxins are present.
Since enactment, it has been the reason for the addition of notices of specific contents to consumer product labels. Along with the added label requirements, an official list of implicated substances is maintained and made publicly available. To date there are over 700 chemicals listed, and entries are added or removed based on current scientific information. All substances listed show their known or suspected risk factors, a unique CAS chemical classification number, the date they were listed, and if so, whether they have been delisted.
The Magnet Group is committed to complying with all aspects of Prop 65. For further information please feel free to contact
the appropriate TMG factory.
*All prices are subject to change without notice.
