| * FONTS |
| Fonts - When submitting a file from Illustrator or Freehand you MUST change all text to outlines or embed the fonts into the file. We prefer that you convert to outlines to ensure that there will be no delay in your order. REMEMBER to create outlines if working, with fonts, in Illustrator. And if artwork is from Photoshop rasterize the type, so it is no longer type. The type is converted to an object. Or you may flatten the image and save. |
| * SOLID BLACKS |
 |
If you want to have an area of solid black within your document, using 100% Black will not result in a nice, rich and saturated black. To obtain these results, instead using a rich black color, represented by the following CMYK values:
C: 60%, M: 40%, Y: 40%, K: 100%. |
|
| * COLOR |
| Color -
Digital printing is a 4 color process. Create artwork in CMYK color mode. Submitted files in RGB will be converted which may cause color shifts. For guaranteed accurate color, if you need SPOT colors, please build your files using the CMYK values from a Pantone Process Coated color guide. If color is crucial please request a press printed proof or specify the Pantone colors used. |
| * FILE FORMATS |
File Formats -
We prefer Illustrator .EPS formats. When saving your file as a EPS do the following: Convert your text to outlines [in vector based applications] and flatten your artwork [in raster based applications]. Make sure there is no color conversion, and make sure that there is no downsampling of the images ( unless above 800dpi ). Do not send compressed artwork other than Tiff using LZW compression. Please do not send security/password protected files, i.e. PDF. Other accepted formats: .ai, .psd, .jpg, and .tiff. Note, raster based files from Photoshop must have a resolution at 300 dpi or better. Fees are applied when the format is not usable.

| * RESOLUTION |
| Resolution -
Minimum resolution is 300 dpi. We encourage our customers to submit files that have 300 dpi or higher, when the artwork is from Photoshop. This makes improvements in quality when there is text on the design. |
