How do I upload files?
Login, expand the desired Element folder or subfolder, click "upload file". It’s that simple. If you don’t have a login password, get in touch with your sales representative and find out how to get one.

What formats does KDM require for receiving artwork?
We accept most commonly used formats for Mac, as well as PC. Our prepress department has 10 G5 Macintosh Stations, including the major Macintosh applications Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop, Quark and Art Pro.

What line screen do you print?
When we screen print, typically we print 33, 45 or 63 line, depending on what size you need printed. For offset, it is usually 133 or 150 line. Call your sales rep to see what line screen we can do for your project.

What types of proofs are available?
Depending upon what process or how many colors we’re going to print for you, we could give you any number of proofs available. We could also upload a PDF into your secure Customer Login page for your review. Please let your sales representative know which style of proof you require.
