Specific Ink Colors:
If you're looking to match specific ink colors in your artwork, we need exact pantone numbers. Computer screens can be calibrated differently and there is no way of knowing if the color on our screens is that same color that you are looking at. If ink colors are not specified, we will hand mix the inks to achieve a color as close to your artwork as possible. Below is a chart of our stock ink colors:

Using fonts?
Make sure to save as a .pdf or .jpg as we may not have the same fonts as you do. Also, if you're sending an illustrator or eps file, make sure that your fonts are changed to objects.
Images from the internet will not digitize well, so just don't use them!
