*Please Read*
Microsoft PowerPoint is a software application designed to develop
on-screen computer presentations. Usage of PowerPoint for print production
is not a recommended practice. However, due to the overwhelming demand
for acceptance of PowerPoint files for Digital Art Submission, Cadmus
Professional Communications has developed a process to accept PowerPoint
files that makes the best use possible of the files for print production.
Color Accuracy
PowerPoint files are intended for screen display (RGB color model)
and must be color separated for creation of printing plates. This process
involves transforming RGB color (monitor display) to CMYK color (commercial
printing). Colors that are represented in a PowerPoint Presentation
may not be possible to reproduce on press. Please do not rely on a
monitor display to predict color output on press.
Print Out Required
A print out of your PowerPoint file(s) is required as part of your
submission. Without a print out, your artwork could be subject to
rejection.
