Submitting Artwork
Always supply a hard copy proof of file(s). Hard copy should be of final version of output file. Also, a copy indicating color breakdown and layout position with dimensions should be provided to ensure correct color separation, artwork location, and or bleeds. Electronic artwork should be provided at the actual size. When order is to match another printed piece, please provide sample piece indicating any changes or revisions. When submitting artwork via e-mail, using a compression program such as WinZip or StuffIt is recommended to avoid file corruption.
Fonts/Typefaces
Avoid using TrueType fonts. Please use only Type 1 Postscript font whenever possible. In the event that you cannot avoid using TrueType fonts, please convert all type to "outlines", "curves", or "paths" before submitting your graphic file. This will dismiss the need for Postscript fonts. Include all fonts (screen & printer) with artwork file, including fonts used in embedded graphics. Please do not rename or customize the names of screen or printer fonts.
Electronic File Formats
The use of JPEG, GIF, or PICT file formats is not recommended. Often the resolution of these file formats is too low for screen printing. Acceptable file formats include EPS, PDF, AI, TIFF, DCS, and BMP. All created at a minimum of 300 PPI. Graphic applications that we use include:
- Adobe Illustrator 10.03
- Adobe Photoshop 6.01
- QuarkXPress 4.11
- Adobe Acrobat 5.05
Ink Color
All graphic files should be spot color unless the job is to be printed in a 4 color process (CMYK). Please use pantone colors in the artwork files that you provide. Make sure to name and define custom colors exactly the same between graphic programs and page layout programs. We do not recommend using screen percentages of black to achieve gray. Please assign a pantone gray to these areas of your design.
Bleeds / Halftones
Any artwork having bleeds or halftones may be subject to higher pricing. In the event that your artwork incorporates bleeds, please allow 1/4" art extension beyond the trimmed edge of the binder.
Placed Images & Linking Files
Do not change the name of graphic files after linking or placing these files into your output file. This often causes computer error. When embedding the graphic file(s), please also supply the embedded graphic file(s).
Ink & Substrate Color
- Screen-printing in multiple colors is subject to factory approval.
- When screen-printing light colors on dark substrates, 100% opacity may not be obtainable.
- We ask that you do not simulate the color of the substrate in graphic file. Please be sure to remove any such colors before submitting your artwork.
