Color:  Convert files to CMYK if you can to avoid color shifting. The CMYK color gamut has a different color range then RGB colors.

• Matching: Critical colors can be matched by specifying PMS (Pantone Matching System) colors, a small fee may apply. The artwork needs to be in an editable format, colors in flat files such as png, jpg or tiff can not be matched.
