Art Specs
Photo
reproduction: In order for a complex logo, label or artwork
to look crisp and smooth when reproduced, it's better to
print the artwork than to paint it over the product. This
prints require a vector* format lie the "Illustrator.eps, "Freehand.eps"
, Corel.cdr, or a raster file* saved at high resolution(
250-600ppi).
Paint
reproduction: For art that will be painted on a product, the
artwork must be in a vector file such as Illustrator.eps,
Freehand.eps, Corel.cdr, camera ready artwork, or black and
white slicks.
For a high
resolution image, the image has to be created or scanned at
a high resolution. If the image starts with a low
resolution, it can not be changed to a high resolution
latter on. If a low resolution file is increased in size the
image will get distorted.
Layout
Artwork: Art used for layouts or graphic samples can be
supplied as an .eps,.jpg, .bmp, or .pict files.
ppi:
Pixels per inch, also called "dpi" (dots per inch)
vector:
vector formats are images in geometric separate shapes such
as curves or polygons, as the size increases the program
recalculates each piece kipping the proportion and the
resolution intact for a crisp image.
raster:
A raster graphics image, or bitmap, is a data file
representing a generally rectangular grid of pixels. If you
increase the size of the image the program puts more blank
pixels in the image making the image blurred or distorted.
Raster graphics cannot be scaled to a higher resolution
without loss of apparent quality. Raster files are .bpm,
.jpg, .tiff, ,psd, and ,pict.

Important
Art Reminders: |
All files must be saved in
Corel Draw 11 or earlier,
Adobe Illustrator 10 or earlier, or .EPS format . |
|
For
Mac users, an alternative is to include both screen and
printer fonts. |
All art and
fonts must be vectorized and created in
outlines or curves. |
|
Multiple color jobs should be
created using spot color mode
rather than process color mode. |
All
colors should be labeled with the Pantone Matching System (PMS). |
|
Include all EPS and Tiff files
used in creating your
document. |
If
files have half tones or gradients, please label it with PMS
colors or save resolution to 25-30 dpi. |
|
When creating artwork, remember
that our printing process may require the "trapping" of colors on multi-color jobs. |
Avoid
.tif, .bmp, .gif and .jpg files. Extra art time will be
required to edit these files . (These files can be sent
but
may require additional art setup and charges). |
|
Do not email files larger
than 3 MB. Large files should
be compressed by using Winzip or saved to a zip
disk then mailed or shipped to us. |
Convert
all fonts to paths or curves. (Text converted to paths can
no longer be edited as text.) Without this done we may not
have the correct font and your work will not be correct.
|
|
Include a color printout or .jpg of the submitted file |
|
Vector (line) art works best
for most products. Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw and Freehand work well for saving and
exporting vector art. If you can't get the artwork to us in one of these formats we can work
out other options. If you have any questions at all about art
requirements just call or email us.
Most
jobs will require at least some minimal form of
art/setup. This is a one time fee that covers color
separating, creating traps, film positives, etc. The
closer the supplied art is to a print ready state, the
cheaper the one time set up fee will be.
We can
give you an estimate for the art/setup fee until we see the art.
Our art/setup
charge is $45.00 per hour. Once we see the provided
art work, we can give quotes for art/setup.
If
possible, send proofs of color separations for multiple
color jobs. Please do not send an original file. Make a
copy before sending.
