Artwork Requirements

ELECTRONIC ARTWORK - Diskettes or CD disc must be PC format.
1. There are two types of files that we can generally use without problems:
Corel Draw - .CDR files (versions 3 through 11)
Adobe Illustrator - .AI or .EPS (versions 3 through 10).
A High Res. hard copy print must be sent or faxed with purchase order. If unable to supply this Hard Copy we can not be held responsible for translation of artwork.
2. All art containing fonts, should have fonts converted to curves or outlines.
3. We can accept Bitmap image type files: .TIFF; .BMP; .JPEG. Only if they are monochrome and they must be a very high resolution (600dpi or greater). DO NOT SEND COLOR BITMAPS.

Please send Art Camera Ready and Separated if multiple color. Offset-No trapping or overprinting, multiple colors must be butt registered. No additional charge if this is done. Fax, photocopies, letterhead and newspaper prints are not camera ready. Art work will be enlarged or reduced at no charge at the discretion of the factory unless explicit size instructions are given with the order. Charges might be incurred for art not camera ready or requiring changes. Contact factory for more information.

Artwork is enlarged and reduced proportionately by both width and length. Therefore if you request the maximum imprint area, only one of the dimensions may be the maximum as printed in the catalog. Please request a paper proof if size is critical.

If artwork contains HALF TONES or TINTS contact the factory for more information.

Screen printing is the process for smaller quantities and the best quality image. Screened images are very sharp and crisp with good ink opacity and even the ability to over print multiple colors to solve registration problems in some art. Normal production time is 5 working days, but rush service is available at no additional charge for this process (See rush request info). One disadvantage of the screen process is multiple colors must be printed and reregistered one at a time making it more costly than offset printing.

Offset printing provides and economical way of printing larger quantities and up to 4 color imprints in one pass. Quality of offset printing is sometimes less than screen printing. Some slurring and blurring is possible. Do not expect the same clarity of print as screen printing. Please request random samples if this is a concern. Normal production time is 10 working days.
