Artwork Requirements:
- Please provide the proper media and all necessary files. Make
sure you include any photographs, slides or transparencies. Our
scanning equipment is set up to scan any size up to 8"x10".
However, larger images will have to be converted into transparency
format. We can do that for you for a nominal fee. Our equipment
does no support negatives, but we can also have them developed for
a small fee.
- We strongly suggest that you send us a color layout of your design.
If you e-mail your art, please fax us a layout. Supporting elements
such as camera ready art, PMS colors, layouts, etc., assist us in
processing your order quickly and accurately.
- If you supply us with a pre-scanned file, please make certain
the resolution is high enough. Usually, a scanned image of 30 or
40 megabytes will result in an excellent product.
- Our systems are Macintosh based. However, we can accept PC based
files. Please read on for specifics.
