Your logo can make a big difference in the appearance of your printed forms. Take the time to add your own artwork.

In order to provide you with the best possible result, below are the guidelines on the kind of graphics files our printer needs.

If these instructions do not mean much to you, (that is you are not a graphics professional), we can usually work with what you have. There may be a charge if our graphic designers need to alter or create the artwork. If we encounter problems, we will let you know before any extra charges are added to your order. Charges are usually no more than $50.

We often run specials for $50 worth of free graphics design services, (use promotional code 28383 which expires 12/31/06), for those with out the artwork needed for printing.

Instructions for Sending Electronic Art

Supported media: You can send your artwork by email, CD, or DVD. Never send original disks. Send us a copy of your disk as disks can be damaged or lost in transit.  Most people email their artwork as an attachment to an email. Professional printing is a very different world than the web or photographs. Often things which work for photography or on the web do not work well in print. Printing requires a higher resolution (more data) than the web.

Accepted Applications:

QuarkXPress - Include all image files imported from other applications (tiff and .eps files). Include all printer and screen fonts used in document.

Adobe Illustrator - Change all text to "outlines" to eliminate font issues. Save as .EPS file.

Pagemaker - Do not embed images. Include all linked image files imported from other applications (.tiff and .eps files). Include all printer and screen fonts used in document.

Scan 1 color photographs or 1 color images at 300 dpi. Save any scanned images as a .tiff file (for Mac). No .gif or low resolution .jpg files accepted. Note that the resolution of artwork on the web is too low to use for printing. It is usually only 72 dpi.

Corel Draw - Do not embed images. Include all linked image files imported from other applications. (.tiff and .eps files). Export as Illustrator File for Macintosh, convert text to curves, turn on "simulate complex filled curves" to avoid font issues.
