Our Graphic Artists have the ability to convert even the most complex designs into printable masterpieces. We offer the following Art Guidelines for those who wish to send us their electronic files. Following these guidelines can reduce the time it will take to make your design printable, thus reducing your Art & Prep charges.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SOFTWARE    The ideal program to send your file in is Adobe Illustrator. We accept any version - MAC or PC.

FONTS    To avoid font conflicts convert all type to "Outlines" in Illustrator so that it is no longer live.

COLORS    Use spot colors. Unless the design calls for process color (CMYK). Avoid RGB colors.

Don't want to concern yourself with all this mumbo-jumbo? NO PROBLEM! Send us whatever you have and we'll take it from there. We can recreate your image from a fax, low res .jpeg, .gif, or .bmp file copy and pasted from the internet. You name it, we've got the talent and tools to get it done.
