Acrylic signs are available in two color specification options: 4/0 (No Mask): Artwork must be reversed before submission. Ensure 0.5-inch bleed on all sides, no crop marks. Since there is no white mask, the image will have a somewhat transparent appearance on the clear substrate. 5/0 (With Mask): Artwork must be reversed before submission. Ensure 0.5-inch bleed on all sides, no crop marks. White ink is used as an overprint — areas with the white mask will be opaque and vibrant, areas without will appear semi-transparent. White Mask files must be vector format (EPS or PDF) using solid black (0% C, 0% M, 0% Y, 100% K). Create the mask the same size as your artwork to prevent alignment issues.
