To get the best quality possible please send artwork files in Black and White. Try to avoid shading, gradations, and blends. Artwork with shading may drop out or appear dotted. Use solid fills and outlines for best results. If your artwork does require screening, you must send the file in .TIF format. What applications can be used to send electronic files? We currently have the capability of working with the following programs (or earlier versions of them).
On some applications such as Quark Xpress® you must include all the fonts and images in the document.
On some applications such as llustrator® converting all text to paths/outlines/ or curves will eliminate the need for the fonts. Paths make logos more stable and less likely for spacing to change between letters and words.
The Following Compression software is accepted:
WinZip ® (.ZIP) and Stuff-It ® (.SIT) (WinZip is Preferred) PLEASE INCLUDE ALL FONTS AND IMAGES IF YOU USE THEM. DO NOT EMBED IMPORTED IMAGES. LINK ALL IMPORTED IMAGES TO THE FILE.
To protect our systems from viruses, we will only open files that end in the following extensions.
