Externally Printing Coloured Documents
Please consult the design and front-end teams before engaging in externally printing any Smartkarma branded products.
A degree of expertise is required in the understanding of colour specification such as Pantone Colour Matching Systems for print, textiles and other products. Furthermore colours differ between spot colour and four colour processes and coated and uncoated stocks. Modes of printing such as screen printing output at a lower resolution and this needs to be accounted for in the creation of the artwork to be sent to respective printers.
