Color Spec Option: 4/0 (with No Mask) - Artwork must be reversed prior to submission.
- Ensure you have 0.5" bleed on all sides of your artwork.
- Do not add crop marks.
Note: Since 4/0 is printed without a White Mask and is printed directly on the material, the image will have somewhat of a transparent appearance due to the Clear substrate.
Color Spec Option: 5/0 (with Mask) - Artwork must be reversed prior to submission.
- Ensure you have 0.5" bleed on all sides of your artwork.
- Do not add crop marks.
White ink can be used as an overprint so your printed graphic can be opaque in some areas and transparent in others. This will allow for vibrant, crisp color. Make sure to create your mask file the same size as your color art file. This will prevent alignment issues during printing.
Note: White Masks must be made in vector format and be saved as EPS or PDF and use 100% K.
Use vector paths/shapes to create black color areas that will indicate where the white ink base will go. The rest of the area will represent the Acrylic Sign.
- White ink base will be printed behind any color that’s in your Artwork Layer.
- Areas with color but without a White Mask will be printed with color directly on the material. These areas will have somewhat transparent color due to the Clear substrate.
- Areas with color and a White Mask will be printed as opaque or solid color.
- Areas with a White Mask and no color will be printed as white.
- The black for the White Mask file must be 0% C 0% M 0% Y 100% K or it will not be recognized by preflight.

UV cured inks are used to print directly on to the surface of the Acrylic making the product last longer outdoors.
For contour cut orders, two separate files must be uploaded: one regular artwork file, and one cut mask file. The cut mask file must be an all vector, PDF file uploaded at the same time as the artwork file.
We cannot accept any cut mask files that are made using a raster based program (e.g. Photoshop).
- When being cut, the blade will follow the cut mask line you’ve created. It is recommended that you keep your perimeter cut line slightly inside the border of the image you are trying to cut out. This will avoid any obvious edges showing from your background once it is cut.
- Do not use small/thin cut areas, or have perimeter cut lines that are too close together. At least 0.5" must separate your perimeter cut lines from each other. Printand Grow will not reprint any order with perimeter cut lines that are too close to one another.
- Your contour cut line should be a smooth fully closed path. No disconnected lines or open paths will cut. If your cut line is ragged or has any imperfections, they will show up in the final piece
Only one cut per order will be allowed. Please do not add multiple cuts in a single file.
ProntoPrints will not reprint any order attributed to improper file setup or layout.
