ARTWORK GUIDELINES

To ensure quality printing and the quickest possible turnaround time, we need you to have all your artwork in the proper formats. If you have any questions about these requirements, please feel free to contact us and we’ll be happy to help!

ARTWORK PREPARATION

Vector files are the best you can send, as each object in a vector file can be selected and individually manipulated independently from the rest of the image. Easily done in Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw or other Vector-based software, we ask that you scale your image to the size you want your print. If you are unable to provide vector artwork, we need the raster file of at least 300 DPI. The quality of the print is reflected in the quality of the artwork that you provide us! Artwork with halftones are best if controlled through our software, as this ensures top quality prints and helps expedite the separation process, ultimately saving you money.
