Avoiding Additional Costs

Files obtained from the internet (JPG, GIF, PNG) or artwork created in MS Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) are often not suitable for high quality output, and require additional hourly charges. Artwork should be created at actual size, however for larger files, such as banner artwork, files can be scaled down to accommodate the limits of the software. Scans should be no smaller than 300dpi at quarter size. To avoid additional costs associated with these file types, please supply files as defined herein.

PDF - These are print files only and cannot be altered to fit different sizes, artwork must be set up at the correct proportion and at print-ready quality Ensure images are saved at high resolution (100dpi at final size).

Fonts

Turn all fonts to outlines or convert to paths before sending the files. If you are using a program where this is not an option, YOU MUST INCLUDE ALL FONTS with your files. OTF (open type fonts). are preferred.

Color Prints

The supported color mode is CMYK. It is important to include in your transfer a file indicating detailed colors and their Pantone reference. Otherwise, the received file will be printed as is and we will not be held responsible for the final result.
