**additional time will be required to convert non-CMYK files into the appropriate color space.
Fonts:
fonts can be handled in two ways:
1. Outlines: ALL fonts must be converted into Outlines/Paths (this renders them uneditable as type).
2. Embedded: ALL fonts must be EMBEDDED into the document, and INCLUDED with the supplied artwork files (PostScript, OpenType, or TrueType accepted).
