Please include version number with file. Do not save linked
graphics as part of your file. Include as separate TIF or EPS files.
Download Instructions:
Download all files in
NATIVE saved format (ie: Corel file extension should be mylogo.CDR
not mylogo.john). Mac users: Include .dat files.
Internet Graphics:
JPEGs, GIFFs, TIFFs and all other bitmap
files are not considered acceptable artwork for screenprinting
(metallic background labels). These
files should be redrawn in a vector based format. This is a service we
can provide for you if necessary.
Fonts:
All font files should be included with your art files.
We accept both TrueType and Type 1 postcript fonts. If you are not using one of the
programs listed above, please convert all type to curves before saving your file.
Scanned Images:
Color images must be saved in CMYK TIFF format and
included as separate files. Scale and rotate as needed before saving. Allow 1/8" for
bleeds. Black & white photos or line art should be saved as TIFF.
Printed Samples:
Always include a printed sample of your
file so that we may verify the final product against your original. This print may be
faxed to us.
Spot Color Separations:
Any file that is to be printed in spot color, must
have PMS colors in the drawing or layout. RGB, CMYK or standard colors
are NOT acceptable. Please print out your own separations first to be certain everything
separates correctly.
Traps:
Traps should be included for every design where two or more colors
touch. A one or two point overlap is usually sufficient. Darker color should overlap
lighter one.
Camera Ready Art:
We gladly accept camera ready, color separated
art. Art should be output at a minimum of 1200 x 1200 DPI, preferably higher. Faxes,
photocopies, business cards & cocktail napkins are NOT considered camera ready and
will be subject to an art preparation fee. |
