Camera Ready Art

To avoid an art charge, camera ready artwork must be supplied .
Camera ready artwork is high quality black and white (B&W) artwork that is ready to be processed
by us to be used for printing. If the design is multi-colored, a separate B&W image is required for each color.

Camera ready artwork is not:

Photocopies of any type

A fax

Business cards or other printed items

Dirty Artwork (smudges or marks)

Continuous tone images; i.e., B&W and color photographs

We will accept artwork supplied to us by the above methods, but an art charge will be applied.

File Types

Images in vector format such as files created in CorelDraw, Adobe Illustrator,
etc., are the preferred file types and in most cases we will not charge an art charge if you send your
artwork in this format.You may alternatively supply us with a high quality digital image (150 - 200 dpi
at actual print size) that has been separated into different layers or channels in a program such as Adobe Photoshop and no art charge will be applied. Do not use "anti-aliasing" if at all possible. Anti-aliasing
blends the edges of text and other objects to make them appear softer on screen, but cannot be
reproduced in monotone printing.

In order of preference, here is a list of file types we will accept for artwork. We use the versions listed
and we can use files created by older versions as well:

Adobe Illustrator 8 - *.ai, *.epsf

Adobe Photoshop 5 - *.psd

*.Epsf

*.tif

*.gif

*.jpg

Image Resolution

High resolution images are required in order to produce a clean, sharp print. Most images found on the

internet are at 72 dpi, and cannot be reproduced at that resolution.
