DO YOU SELL YOUR PRODUCTS TO END CUSTOMERS TOO OR SELL EXCLUSIVELY TO PROMOTIONAL ARTICLE DISTRIBUTORS ?

I WOULD LIKE TO PERSONALISE ONE OF YOUR ARTICLES BUT HAVE NO GRAPHIC DESIGN FACILITIES, CAN YOU HELP ME?
If you cannot produce graphics in vector format, contact our sales office: we shall help you find the solution best in keeping with your indications and goals. Our graphics design service is billed based on the cost of the final product.
WHAT FORMAT IS REQUIRED FOR THE FILES TO BE PRINTED?
The files must always be submitted in vector format, with the text converted into curves by means of programs for PC (Adobe Illustrator up to version CS4, Corel Draw up to version CS5, pdf or eps formats).
WHAT COLOURS CAN BE PRINTED ON MAXEMA PENS?
We can print colours from the following colour charts: PANTONE - Pantone Solid Coated + CMYK selections for four-colour processes and photographic images. Keep in mind that on a white surface a colour will match its ID code, whereas against a coloured background colours might be altered. This is the reason why we advise against printing light colours against a dark background, unless one can do a double pass or apply a preliminary white base coat, but in this manner the cost of printing will be doubled. We do not supply fluorescent colours, hot printing or laser engraving services. There is no extra charge for silver and gold colours. Our graphics office reserves the right to verify the feasibility of a project.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO CREATE A ONE-OF-A-KIND PEN BY COMBINING PARTS IN DIFFERENT COLOUR?
