*Please be aware that work composed on a PC doesn't always translate accurately on a MacIntosh. Type font issues can be particularly bothersome between platforms. It's always best to stick with old standards like the Helvetica, Times,  Futura and Avant Garde families . . . the results are far more predictable than they are with exotic display faces. When sending PC based files to us, we encourage you to send a ".pdf" copy along in the folder so we can see how the final result is supposed to appear.
