Color Requirements

Navitor® now has a new "Accurate Color" system. To our channel partners - you can now send your files colored the intended PMS color versus having to color it CMYK.
    Spot Color Printing:
  1. Please submit black and white bitmap images at 600 dpi and grayscale images at 600 dpi for standard spot printing.
    Full Color Process Printing:
  1. Every element of the file must be colored with process CMYK colors (no RGB, indexed color, etc.).
  2. If RGB or other non-CMYK colors are used in your files, the necessary conversion to CMYK will change the appearance of the colors when we print, sometimes dramatically.
  3. Pantone® colors - While we are often able to closely reproduce a spot PMS® ink using full color process, PMS® spot colors and process colors are produced using different methods. Therefore, colors produced in full color will differ from Pantone® spot colors, sometimes significantly. Please refer to a Solid to Process Color Imaging Guide for color conversions.
    Multicolored Printing:
  1. Every element of the file must be colored according to the Multicolored color mix chart or it may be necessary for us to question the color correctness, which would delay your order.
  2. Screens, halftones and photos are not recommended; low screen percentages will affect raised appearance.
  3. If the CMYK mixes used in your file do not match the Multicolored numbers chosen, we will use the file as is and print as a "CMYK Scan" with no guarantees.

Printing Black vs. Black for Full Color and Multicolored Orders:

To ensure the best possible results for your order it is important to understand when to use printing black (C-80%, M-80%, Y-80%, K-95%). Use printing black instead of 100% black when in registration with other colors, in areas with heavy ink coverage, and for bold type or lines (2.5 points or thicker). Use 100% black in all other instances. If the CMYK mixes used in your file do not match the Multicolored numbers chosen, we will use the file as is and print as a 'CMYK Scan' with no guarantees.
