Film positives, right reading, emulsion up. Minimum Recommended Point Size is six points. Maximum Line Screen is 100 lpi, elliptical dot. Screen Range is 10% - 85%. Type density must be at least 2.0.
Color separations should use an elliptical dot with a maximum line screen of 85 lpi. Angles for Separations are listed below.

A film positive matching the separation diameters should be included for a solid white background. (This will cause the job to become a five-color job.)
Allow for a 10% Dot Gain in the Midtones, 12 - 15% Dot Gain in the 3/4 Tones, and any dot over 85% will print solid.
The Dot Density in any overlapping areas should not exceed 280%.
The use of Vignetting (printing the central area of a picture while shading the edge areas gradually into white or black) is not recommended, this may cause a tonal jump.
Allow 1-2 point trap on all type.
Cromalin or Match Print Proof required.
Include Color Bar with Grey Scale and Slur Bars.
Registration marks must be located on the vertical and horizontal axis as indicated on template.
