ART GUIDELINES
1. All files should be prepared for
use on the Macintosh platform. We CAN take PC files as long as the following
guidelines are met. Art that does not meet the following guidelines will
require our help at an additional charge. We want your artwork to look
how YOU want it.

Adobe Illustrator 10-CS3 and Adobe Photoshop CS3
3. We can read 3.5" diskettes, ZIP disks, CD's, as well as e-mailed
files. (formatted for Macs) Call for email address.
4. "Vector" files made in Adobe Illustrator are preferred. We can take Raster files too...see below.
5. Please be sure to save all typeset characters
as outlines (Illustrator) or convert to curves (Corel). Please do not
send fonts. YOUR FONTS WILL NOT WORK IF YOU DO NOT CONVERT THEM.

etc.) must have a resolution of 300 dpi or higher and saved to print size.
*Please call our art department if you have multicolor raster art for
proper file preparation.
