ARTWORK
We strongly recommend all artwork be computer generated to assure the
best printing results. We suggest the use of high contrast, clean and defined
edges, straight typefaces, and avoid type smaller than 7 pt., or detailed
artwork in small imprint areas. Our Art Department supports the Mac OSX
versions of the following software programs: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe
Photoshop, CorelDraw. Acceptability of artwork files in PDF format is subject
to review by our Art Department.
Layouts::
we strongly recommend the artwork submitted be laid out the
way it should appear when printed. If no layout or related instructions are
provided, we reserve the right to use the art provided as we see fit, using
our best judgment.
File formats::
Within our line of products, different items are available
in different printing methods. The requirements for each method are as
follows:
For SPOT COLOR PRINTING (Screen, Pad) or LASER ENGRAVING, we
require files in Vector EPS format, with type outlined (solid colors only, no
halftones or gradations).
For 4-COLOR PROCESS DIGITAL PRINTING, we require files in TIF
format, CMYK color mode, with a minimum resolution of 300 ppi, sized at
100%, flat and with extra bleed if needed (the format for Spot Printing – see
above – is also accepted).
