TEXT:

All text must be converted to outlines (Illustrator). Avoid using sans serif typefaces below 16pts., or 24pts. for serif typefaces.

LINES:

Use a minimum line weight of 2pts. When ordering glitter transfers, please use the largest line weight you can. Glitter transfers look best with thick lines/text.

COLORS:

PLEASE DO NOT USE   C-M-Y-K (4/C process).

Please use PANTONE SOLID COATED colors when creating Vector art. White must be represented by Pantone 100C (yellow).

HALFTONES:

Use only halftones between 25%–40%. Using halftones in a large area of the design may cause a moiré pattern to appear. Also, percentages above 40% will cause areas of the logos to fill in. Percentages below 25% will blow off the screen and not print in some areas.
