Convert RGB artwork to CMYK color profile. RGB monitor colors may shift when translated to 4-color press inks.

Extend all background colors and imagery 1/8 inch past the trim edge to eliminate white borders during industrial cutting.
text_fields Convert Fonts to Outlines
Convert all typography to curves/outlines before exporting to prevent missing font substitution on RIP processors.
