ART PREP

 

All files must be at least 300 ppi or Vector Format. If your file is not 300 ppi, you cannot just increase the resolution of the file. This is called "upsampling" and will result in a blurry image. If you are creating your file in Adobe Illustrator or another Vector-based software, just size your image to the size you want it to print.

​

Accepted File Types

 

We accept the following File Types:

​

• Illustrator (.AI)

• Coreldraw (.CDR)

• Vector (.EPS)

• Photoshop (.PSD)

• PDF

• JPEG

• TIFF

 

We prefer .AI, .CDR or .EPS files first because Vector images can be scaled without affecting quality. We prefer .PSD or .PDF second & .JPG or .TIFF last.

​

SIZE YOUR DESIGN 

​

Your design should be sized to the size it should be printed. If you want your print to be 10" wide, please be sure the actual design within the file is 10" wide, not just the background of your design file. 

​

COVERT YOUR TEXT TO OUTLINES

​

If you are creating your file in Adobe Illustrator or CorelDraw, you will need to choose "Create Outlines" on all your text. This allows us to open the file without requiring the font.

​

PICKING PMS COLORS

 

We can match PMS colors for a 30.00 charge. However, there is an issue with pantone matching, and that is that not every color looks the same on every monitor. A certain red on your screen may appear to be a different red on ours. There is no universal color calibration for computers. It is always best to try to supply your own pantone colors if possible. 

​

Please see our Stock Ink chart here. These colors are Free of charge and we will use the color closet to your art. If you do not specify a color we can not be responsible if you are not satisfied with the color in the print.
