Vector Artwork Files    

Preferred Programs - Adobe Illustrator. Convert text to outlines.

For best results - please submit VECTOR ART.

Must be saved in the Postscript Format and contain no Postscript errors, stray points or colors assigned inconsistently to the supplier's published requirements.

All type that has been set must be converted to outlines (curves). If future changes to the text will be necessary, the original font file must be supplied with the art file for use on the supplier's specified computer platform (Mac or PC).

All design elements in the file must meet the supplier's published minimums for line thickness. Failure to do so may compromise the final imprint quality.

If the vector file contains any linked (placed) raster images, these images must meet the supplier's minimum requirement for resolution when rendered at 100% actual imprint size and must be submitted with the original vector file.

Acrobat (PDF) Files    

PDF files created from vector files must retain the editing capabilities of the program that was used to create them (e.g. Illustrator or Freehand).

PDF files that contain raster elements must meet the minimum requirements for raster art files as outlined by the supplier.

PDF files that contain vector elements must meet the minimum requirements for vector art files as outlined by the supplier.

PDF files created from page layout documents should be submitted together with the source documents, fonts and all supporting files.

Fonts    

Any fonts used in the production of art files should be converted to curves (outlines) prior to submission. If future typesetting will be required, the original font files must be included with the artwork file to be used on the supplier's specific computer platform (Mac or PC).
