Things To Note

• Each moniter displays colour differently depending on calibration, settings and quality, so final result may differ from on-screen appearance. The printed colour may also vary due to differences in equipment, paper, inks, pigments and other conditions between pressroom operations and suppliers and a reasonable variance may occur.
• PMS and RGB colours are limited in reproduction by the colour gamut of our wide format printers
• Incorrect formats or files will incur a pre-press charge, and Katopra can not guarantee final output
• Illustrator contour-cut swatch can be provided
• Test prints can be produced upon request but may incur an additional charge
• Templates and advice are available

If you have any questions or require any assistance with supplying your files, please contact us.
