Other Hints
-Most of the time when you have your "creation" printed it won't be printed exactly as you are hoping, colors will be different (Costo seems, to me, to be the most off)
-Also the image may not always centered like you sent it in, so if you have text or part of image you really want shown is close to an edge then it make get cut off. so leave about 1/2" from all edges.
-Mix fonts and colors and font size, it adds a lot to your project. Don't make the font to small.
