Artwork Requirements
Digital Artwork Specifications:
Artwork may be supplied on a Macintosh or PC formatted disk using the specifications listed below:

- b) No BMP, DOC, GIF, JPG, PDF, PSD, TIF or any other form of raster image files please. Illustrator EPS or CorelDraw CDR files containing placed raster images are NOT acceptable either.
- c) Files must be in vector format, which means the artwork was originally created in EPS or CDR format and can be modified in any way.
- d) Fonts/text in EPS or CDR files must be converted to outlines or curves.
- e) Use appropriate file extension (i.e. file_name.eps, file_name.cdr).
- f) Larger files may be compressed into zip files using Stuffit (Macintosh) or ZIP (PC).
- g) Halftone artwork is acceptable only if confirmed with our Graphic Department in advance.
- h) Files can be e-mailed to us, attention to Graphic Department. We suggest to use the P.O. number for the file name.
Camera Ready Artwork:
All orders requiring artwork should include “camera-ready” black and white artwork along with the order. Camera-ready artwork is defined as either:
- a) Black and white line art (i.e. graphics and text) that is sharp in detail and not folded, wrinkled, or damaged in any way. Artwork should be on glossy photographic paper (velox) rather than printed on matte or textured paper stock.
- b) Color-separated art with one piece of art (positive film preferred) per colour, including registration marks.
- c) Please note that printed letterhead, business card, fax etc. are NOT camera-ready art work. Laser printout or hard copy should be 1200 dpi or more for small print.
Note:
Artwork charge for non-camera-ready or non-vector artwork will be assessed according to time consumed and difficulty to re-do the artwork. Charge is $60.00 (g) per hour; we will notify you in advance if any artwork charge is applied. Final artwork will be kept on file and can be forwarded to client upon request. |
