4-Color Process Printing
The following items are printed in 4-color process inks rather than
spot colors:
  • DPI001 - Drinkware
  • DCI001 - Desk Caddy
  • Domed Key Rings
  • Coasters
  • Y124 - Domed Clip

There are several standard imprint colors available. When requesting a non-standard imprint color, an exact PMS color match cannot be guaranteed, however, we will match as closely as possible. When color
is critical, we recommend you order a color proof and submit a color sample (swatch or photograph). Please submit files in the CMYK color mode only. RGB files will be converted to CMYK which can result in color shifts. Raster images (digital photos) should be at least 300 dpi at 100% final size.
