How are digital files received?
We use IBM compatible computers and prefer receiving art on IBM formatted disks. We can read disks which are Macintosh formatted, but this is not always successful. All Mac files must have an IBM extension added to them. Examples would be: .tif for a TIFF file; .ai for an Illustrator file; .eps for an EPS file, etc... We accept files on 1.44 floppy disk, 100mb & 200mb Zip disk, Compact Disc, or by email. Bitmap TIFF files should be no less than 600 dpi. at final size. Four color digital scans should be at 300 dpi at final size. Files prepared at 72 dpi screen resolution for use on the internet will not reproduce correctly. If you compress your file use sit, sea, or zip formats.
What file formats are acceptable?
Corel Draw (up to ver. 11), Adobe Illustartor (up to ver. 10), Photoshop (up to ver. 7), TIFF and EPS. All of our final art is produced in CorelDraw 9. We prefer this format for files we receive from you (if they have all text converted to curves or outlines). In addition, we can accept TIFF images easily, although they should be save as an IBM format. Adobe Illustrator 9 files are acceptable if they are saved as an IBM file, if they have all text converted to curves or outlines, and if any images, such as a TIFF or EPS, which are placed in the Illustrator file, are sent with it. Art files created for the Internet are generally not compatible with our print method.
