All screenprint artwork will be converted to Pantone Solid Coated® spot colours. In all cases, the closest CMYK colour match possible will be used, but we prefer our client to supply Pantone swatch colours wherever possible. The maximum print size for your screen print will be limited to the smaller of both dimensions below:
