A note about printing with process colors: Process color is the blending of four (4) primary colors that provide a wide array of pleasing colors as in print advertising such as magazine ads. Since they are not comprised of pigments, process colors provide an approximate pleasing color match, but not an exact PMS match. PMS color references will be converted to process colors known as CMYK. A Pantone® Process Color Imaging Guide can be used to reference similar CMYK values.

One-color and multi-color imprints require black-and-white camera-ready art, a PMS color breakdown, or digital art. Files containing text must include fonts or text converted to paths.

IMPRINT SPECIFICATIONS:

Straight line copy: Any type style below can be used or submit your own along with camera-ready art. Number of lines
recommended on each product page is based on most readable layout from Goldstar?s experience or screen size
limitations.

A. GOLDSTAR Times Roman
B.
GOLDSTAR Times Bold
C.
GOLDSTAR Times Italic
D.
GOLDSTAR Times Bold Italic
E. GOLDSTAR Arial
F. GOLDSTAR Arial Bold
G. GOLDSTAR Arial Bold Italic
H. GOLDSTAR Arial Italic

If camera-ready art is not submitted, then automatic sizing and centering will be used for most pleasing and readable
layouts. To add emphasis, we recommend the most important lines be specified as bold.

IMPRINT COLORS:

1. Holographic, silkscreen, rubbercoated and laser engraved products are limited to selections on those pages.
