All customer-furnished, computer-generated art requires some review time which is billed at the standard craft charge. Customer-furnished art must be in a format that allows them to be manipulated to ensure proper traps, halftone dot assignment, etc. If we can’t use your art as furnished, we will bill all craft time required to make it functional.
All files should be submitted in an Adobe Illustrator vector format. Please note, web art or an image from the internet is not usable as-is. Quark, Publisher, PowerPoint, Word, Excel, MS Paint, etc., are not usable formats. Quotes on separation charges and redraw fees are recommended and available upon request.
A VECTOR FILE is an image composed of paths. All fonts need to be converted to outlines. This file type can be printed on light or dark garments. The terms outlines, fonts, and spot colors are commonly used when discussing this file type. These files are usually created in Adobe Illustrator. Suitable file extensions are pdf, eps, and ai.
