ART SPECS - Digital Files

COLOR SEPERATIONS/TRAPPING
$50 per hour

FILES/ARTWORK
Must be properly separated and trapped.
Problematic files or untrapped/unseparated artwork delays the scheduling of your job.

VECTOR FILES
As long as the file was created in Illustrator (NOT PHOTOSHOP THEN PLACED IN ILLUSTRATOR)
there is no need for you to do separations. Please convert all fonts to outlines or curves.

RASTER FILES
This means each color needs to be on a separate layer. this means if you have 3 colors there will only be 3 layers. We can do this for you if you do not know how at $50.00 per hour, please call us for a quote. Please create your design at 300 dpi or higher, this is very important, anything lower than 300 dpi seriously compromises the resolution (crispness).

LAYOUT PROGRAM FILES
While Quark, Pagemaker and InDesign are terrific layout tools for multipage documents, they are not really recommended to create designs.
We do not accept these files.

FORMATS WE ACCEPT
- Illustrator (CS2 & below)
- Photoshop (CS & below - 300dpi)
- TIF and BMP (300dpi)
