Got Artwork?

Our Equipment:
We have both PC and Macintosh platforms and we output all electronic art to a Computer-to-Plate system. With this equipment we can handle most of your digital needs in-house.

For All Electronic Files:

  • Please provide PDF or EPS files with fonts embedded and in spot color format. These formats work best with our CTP System and have the smallest chance for errors.
  • Spot color separations are required. Please reference PMS colors when sending in your order.
  • CMYK may work sometimes as long as the object is 100% of any one color (ex: 0% C 0% M 0% Y 100% K)
    Typically, RGB is meant for web use and does not work well for printing
  • We output files at 2400 DPI and 120 LPI on a normal basis. We recommend all artwork to be sent in vector format to ensure the best quality. Rasterized artwork will work as long as the resolution is high enough and is spot colored. Photos should be at least 300 dpi and line art at least 600 dpi.
  • We will use the positioning provided by you in your file - please include crop marks if necessary.
  • What you send should be exactly what you want printed. It should be the proper size, in the proper position, with correct color breaks, and all special instructions noted on the purchase order. Changes that we must make to your files may incur extra charges, and may require some kind of proof.
  • Include all links and fonts. Fonts may be change to graphic in some file modes. Compress files before sending - this will help prevent file corruption and reduce the size.
  • Plese send a hard copy sample of the form with your electronic file even it is just a fax.
  • We do not recommend sending Microsoft Office Documents.
