IMPRINTING INFORMATION
Imprints
Hot stamping is our standard method for imprinting. Some foil colors are similar to some Pan- tone Matching System® (PMS) colors; however, for critical color matching we suggest screen printing (see page 129). This will add time to production. (Re- member that most of our mate- rials are dark in color, and an ex- act PMS match is not possible, especially with the lighter foils.)
Imprint Setup Charge
The $50 G setup for foil stamp- ing or debossing is a 1-time prep and die charge for each imprint up to 16” sq. Exact repeat orders are not subject to this charge. For larger imprint areas, add $1.38 G per square inch over 16.
2nd Position Foil Imprints
& Additional Colors
For 2 or more foil colors or posi- tions, add $50 G setup per col- or/position (up to 16” sq.) plus $.25 G run charge per additional color. (For screen printing multi- ple colors, see page 129.)
Imprint Colors
With the exception of full-color products and some ValueLine products, book pricing includes a 1-color foil imprint in any of our 36 standard colors (request to see the JournalBooks Foil Swatches for most accurate col- or). For foil colors other than our stock colors, add $63 G foil match charge plus $.30 G per book foil run charge for each nonstandard color. Foils are not generally PMS matchable; how- ever, we will attempt to select a foil that comes close to your re- quested color(s). We will send you random imprints of the foil(s) on your cover choice for you to approve. Please allow 5-7 days added production time for us to send you the foil samples and then, upon approval, to get selected foil from manufacturer prior to production.
About Foils
Metallic foils, which include gloss black, are 100% opaque. Pig- mented foils may change in opacity depending on the light- ness or darkness of the cover material chosen (our standard pigment foils are very opaque). Request a set of our Journal- Books Foil Swatches that illus- trates our 36 stock foil colors that have been proven to stamp well on our cover materials.
About Imprint Design
Small type, reverse-outs, and ne close lines tend to ll in. Hairline registration is available. Oversized imprint designs with bleeds are also available (see page 129 for pricing).
Screens and halftones are not available with foil but are avail- able with screen printing and full-color options (see below and page 129 for additional screen printing and full-color charges and production time).
Screen Printing
Screen printing can be done on Alloy, Poly, Leather, and many of our smooth Paperboard ma- terials. (Art cannot be screen printed on some 100% recycled chipboards or textured stocks.) Screen printing is ideal for any product that needs PMS match- ing or ne detail. Please be ad- vised that your color will be af- fected by the material that it is being printed on. PMS matching is based on printing on a bright white surface, like our Solid White Chip in Cover Series 1. Any other surface will change the expected results. Depending on order quantity and number of colors, screen printing your cover may increase the produc- tion time needed in the factory. Contact factory for printing sug- gestions about your speci c art- work.
Copy Changes
Add $75 G charge per copy change. Imprint up to 16” sq. is included. 100 book minimum per copy change.
ARTWORK
Customer-Supplied Digital Art
Vector art is recommended for best results. We accept les sent via e-mail, digital le transfer ser- vices, or sent in on a ash drive. The factory is Mac-based but can work with most PC les in Adobe CC Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, and Acrobat PDF formats. A printout of the le must be included for reference.
Vector Files
Vector les are preferred for screen printing or foil stamping covers. When using a vector- based program (Illustrator or In- Design), all fonts must be con- verted to outlines and all links embedded at 300 dpi or more.
Raster Files
If vector les are not available, some raster les are acceptable. For any cover imprint, a black- and-white bitmap le saved in TIFF format must be supplied (at least 600 dpi). For full-color in- serts, art must be high-resolu- tion (at least 300 dpi) CMYK le saved in EPS, TIFF, or PDF for- mat. Any raster le must be 100% of nal imprint size plus bleeds, if applicable.
Artwork Services & Typesetting
If required, artwork services and typesetting will be billed at the rate of $50 G per hour, with a minimum charge of $25 G. A proof is required on any art that the factory has created or posi- tioned. Order acknowledgment will include estimate of art costs. Please allow extra production time when art services are re- quired. Factory reserves the right to select type styles and ar- range imprint layout unless cam- era-ready art is submitted with order. If print-ready art is not provided, distributor should sub- mit a layout to show approximate type sizes, emphasis, and format desired by customer. All copy should be typewritten and e- mailed to art@journalbooks. com in one of the above listed formats or in rich text format.
E-Mailing Art Files
Most les under 10MB can be sent via e-mail. For faster trans- fer and protection from le cor- ruption, put all required les into a folder and zip or compress the entire folder. Please send art to: art@journalbooks.com
For les larger than 10MB, up- load pdf or zipped/compressed folder to our website, or send les via a le transfer service. For more information on uploading les, go to www.journalbooks. com and click on My Account. Call factory for assistance with any of your graphic needs. Fac- tory is not responsible for prob- lematic les. The order will not be processed until acceptable les are in place.
Factory will contact you as soon as any problems are detected and will do everything it can to resolve issues. This resolution may require additional produc- tion time. Changes made to sup- plied art les are billed at $50 G per hour, with a minimum charge of $25 G.
PROOFS
Your order will not go to order entry or the art dept. until all necessary information, including usable art, has been received. Proofs are required for new or- ders and will be e-mailed to cus- tomer unless otherwise stated (please include a current e-mail address on order). Proof approv- al is required within 24 hours of receipt in order to maintain ship date. Any delay or multiple proofs with changes will result in rescheduling of the job, espe- cially on tight schedules. Most products require 7-10 working days to complete production from approval of proof.
Customer Changes
Any changes to artwork after ini- tial proo ng will require a new proof and may incur art charges. Extra proofs required for factory error are provided at no charge.
