Imprinting Process

Photo Anodizing

	All Alumicolor™ products have photo anodized calibrations.
	Standard imprint colors on silver and gold products are black, reflex blue, process blue, fire red, and dark green.
	Standard calibration color is black but can be imprinted to match your imprint color. Inquire for more information.
	On our colored products, choose between silver or gold imprint with matching calibrations (white not available).
	Two-color imprints available on silver or gold products only.
	Production time is 15 to 20 working days from date of approved paper proof. Paper proofs are provided within 2-5 working days from of receipt of your order and art. Quantities over 1,000 pcs may take additional production time. Production time may vary depending on volume and season. Please inquire.

	Durable imprint will not rub off easily and usually lasts for years.
	Check catalog pages for specific product color availability.
	Standard imprint colors on silver and gold products are black, reflex blue, process blue, fire red, and dark green.
	Calibrations are photo anodized in black.
	Our colored products are silk screened in white only (silver is NOT available) and have silver photo anodized calibrations.
	Production time is 7 to 10 working days from date of approved paper proof. Paper proofs are provided within 2-5 working days of receipt of your order and art.
