Question

How do I know if my design file is set up correctly for a specialty finish?

Answer

Most finishes require a separate layer or spot color in your design file to indicate where the effect should appear. 4OVER4.COM provides free file review on every order, so if something's off, the team catches it before production starts. You can also start with one of 4OVER4.COM's pre-formatted templates to avoid setup issues entirely.
