ARTWORK
For fastest service and accuracy, please e-mail or send art on PC or Mac disk (Zip, CD, or Floppy). We strongly encourage high resolution images with minimum 300 dpi/150 lpi in the following formats: Freehand, Photoshop, or Illustrator. We can accept Corel Draw and Acrobat PDF files, but this may delay processing.

One-color and multi-color imprints require black and white cameraready art, a PMS color breakdown, or digital art. Files containing text must include fonts or text converted to paths.

Art must be sized to approximate imprint area for best results. Faxed or reproduced artwork cannot be reproduced. Artwork will be returned upon request. Art for repeat orders is kept on file by purchase order number for 12 months.

Special Note: Process color is the blending of four primary colors that provide a wide array of pleasing colors as in print advertising such as magazine ads. Since they are not comprised of pigments, process colors provide an approximate pleasing color match, but not an exact PMS match. PMS color references will be converted to process colors known as CMYK. A Pantone Process Color Imaging Guide can be used to reference similar CMYK values.

DESIGN CHARGES
Custom artwork created or modified by our Art Department will be billed at $83(c). Any customer changes to artwork will be billed an additional $83(c) setup.
