Artwork must be in digital format and should be submitted at 100% (same size as to be printed).
We prefer 300-600 dpi, CMYK, flattened Photoshop TIF or outlined Illustrator EPS files. (Exceptions: Die Cuts must be indicated on a separate layer. And for clear vinyl orders, art layers should be merged rather than flattened to preserve opacity in Photoshop.)
Acceptable File Formats:
• TIF, EPS, PSD, AI, PDF, JPG (300 - 600 dpi)
• Both Mac & PC formats are acceptable
Acceptable Software Applications:
• Adobe Photoshop
• Adobe Illustrator
Artwork Reminders
Convert all fonts (type) to outlines, including any fonts used in placed EPS/AI files.
Include all embedded (placed) images with your artwork.
Artwork should be created in CMYK color. Preparing artwork in RGB mode is not recommended, as color matching can be problematic.
All pixel based art should be prepared at a minimum of 300 dpi. 1-bit images should be prepared at a minimum of 600 dpi, 1200 dpi is recommended.
