Halftones
Most halftone artworks are
difficult to print, because of the
various factors that must be considered.
If your artwork contains halftone,
please make sure the halftone is set
between 85 lpi to 110 lpi. The artwork
must be at 100% of the actual imprint
size, as any enlargement or reduction
will alter the halftones. Please send
artwork in electronic format. It is
always a good idea to consult Sweda
before submitting any artwork containing
halftones.
