What graphic file type should I send you?
Acceptable files in either Mac or PC formats
Art files must be created in
Adobe Illustrator 9.0,CorelDraw or lesser versions. All CorelDraw files must be
saved as an AI file EPS. All files must be saved as EPS and all text converted
to outline. EPS format files provide superior reproduction quality allowing
images to be resized with no loss of sharpness or detail.
What if I want a specific color match imprinted?
Most of our decoration
methods offer the opportunity to closely match the imprint color to a specific
requirement. Our customers who require specific matches provide us with a PMS
color number of each special color in their artwork. PMS stands for Pantone
Matching System. Please note that in most cases , on most printing methods,
there is a $49.00 charge per color for this service as inks need to be
carefully blended to achieve a close match to your color. This charge is also
applicable to reorders. If your logo is to be embroidered, we will select a
thread which most closely matches your PMS color and you will have the
opportunity to see this choice when you approve your “sew out”.
Artwork with Text
We recommend that all text be
converted to outlines when possible. If not, all fonts, printer fonts and
screen fonts must be included with art and files that contain curved copy. Mac
versions of the above software must have text converted to outline since our
systems are PC based and cannot use Mac fonts. Please note that the smallest
text size that can be imprinted is typically around 6-8 pt. with some
exceptions, for embroidery letter should be non-serif and at least 2/16” to ¼”
in height. It is often necessary to modify or drop text entirely for small
imprint areas.
What if I don’t have artwork?
The following artwork is not
considered Camera Ready: Photographs, slides, transparencies, negative stats or
films that need to be reversed to positive, halftone art that needs to be
resized, low resolution laser printed artwork of less than 1200 dpi,
photocopies, faxed art, letterhead, business cards, Web images or any other art
that needs to be touched up, color separated, or multi color art to be made one
color or otherwise improved. Stats, PMTs or computer scans of the above are not
considered camera ready.
Remember, artwork should
never get in the way of doing a promotion. If you can’t find art that meets our
electronic submittal requirements, we can always assist at our reasonable
rates. A proof will be provided for you to review.
Single Color Artwork
We prefer Adobe Illustrator
files, however we can use .jpg or .tiff
files if their resolution is 600 dpi or higher at the size of the imprint area.
The logo should be black on a white background. Web images are 72 dpi and are
not acceptable. If your item is to be embroidered we can use a web graphic.
Multiple Color Artwork
Send only original, native
vector, EPS files. We can not accept art files from the following Mac or PC
platforms: BMP, Photoshop EPS, JPG, GIF, PICT, or TIFF. Do not attempt to save
these files in an acceptable format. These file formats are generally low
resolution – only suitable for viewing on screen – not for printing and cannot
be appropriately modified. If your item is to be embroidered we can use a low
quality graphic.
If you have any other
questions, feel free to contact our art department and we’ll walk you through
it. Remember, it might be a bit of hassle now, but once we have it on file,
you’ll never have to deal with it again.
