Artwork Requirements

Graphics can be supplied in a number of ways. Ideally, computer files are best because they allow for the most control and flexibility.

BEST (PC Applications):
• Corel CX3 orr earlier with text converted to curves (or fonts supplied for PC only)
• Adobe Illustrator CS3 or earlier with text converted to curves
• EPS files, are ideal. Please ensure that all fonts have been converted to outlines
• JPG files are acceptable for photos & logos for sublimation printing. The better the resolution (within reason), the better the end result.  Remember - jpegs are usually a "square" image and if used in a design, may cause problems due to the "square" image.

Digital pictures (JPG files) are always better than scanned images for pictures.

Web page logons or icons are designed for the computer screen and not for print and are generally too low in resolution to be usable.

ACCEPTABLE (PC Applications)
• PDF files are acceptable but may not be editable
• PMT (or high resolution black & white laser output): If the logo contains strictly solid elements and no halftones (levels of grey) then supplying a PMT is fine. However, if halftones are present then supplying a PMT may necessitate the recreation of your logo (the reason: halftones do not scan well)
• TIFF, PICT, BMP and EPS bitmaps are acceptable only if the image is black and white (no halftones) and the resolution is ideal (actual imprint size x 600dpi) Non-graphic Applications:
• Microsoft Word, Corel WordPerfect and applications like Excel and Powerpoint are not graphic applications and cannot be used to generate artwork. Typically, a user will import a graphic into one of the above applications. It is the imported graphic file that is required and not the application file. Web specific bitmaps:
• web image formats like GIF, JPEG and PNG are designed for the computer screen and not for print and are generally too low in resolution to be usable. Photocopies and Stationary:
• Generally speaking, providing a fax, photocopy, letterhead or business card will more than likely involve the recreation of your logo to meet graphic standards. Depending on the complexity of the logo, this may or may not require a substantial amount of work.
