NOTEPAD ARTWORK
PRINTING ON ADHESIVE NOTEPADS AND NON-ADHESIVE SCRATCH PADS
Non-Standard Imprint Colors Notepad sheets are printed with 4-color process inks as opposed to spot color inks. Although we cannot guarantee an exact color match for PMS or Non-Standard imprint colors, please provide a color sample in order to match artwork as closely as possible. Any time color is critical, we recommend a color proof. Color paper proofs may not be an exact match to final product.

PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES
High resolution digital images are $250.00. This charge will be waived if artwork is supplied digitally in CMYK format and is properly sized to the product ordered. Although we cannot guarantee an exact color match, please provide a color sample (swatch or photograph) in order to match artwork as closely as possible. Any time color is critical, we recommend a color proof. Color paper proofs may not be an exact match to final product.

BLEEDS
There is no extra charge for bleeds. Please make sure your artwork extends 1/8" beyond the standard notepad size on all sides that bleed.

FLOOD COATS
There is no extra charge for flood coats. You can change the paper color on one side of your BIC Sticky Note adhesive notepad or non-adhesive scratch pad by printing a flood coat. Just choose a percentage of one of our standard imprint colors from the Color Wheel. The recommended percentages are 10% to 30% depending on the color.

RULED LINES
Ruled lines, either in solid or phantom, are available at no extra charge and will be set without a bleed. Please specify which you prefer, otherwise, we will use solid lines automatically.

PHANTOM OR GHOST IMPRINTS
Text and phone numbers are not recommended as phantom imprints. Phantom or ghost imprints are available at no extra charge. 10% is usually recommended if you intend to write over the phantom imprint. As they are very light, text and phone numbers are not recommended as phantoms. Large logos that cover most of the space at the center of the pad look best.
