FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: ARTWORK - What kind of art file is accepted?
We accept vector artwork i.e. files created in Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw in an AI or EPS format, with all fonts converted to outlines. We also accept vector PDFs. Adobe Photoshop file in EPS or TIF format at 300dpi resolution and at the actual print size (or bigger) may work. Note the word 'may' as this format is not vector and may or may not work for printing promotional products. When in doubt email us what you have and we'll advise of the suitability.
Files created in Pagemaker, QuarkXpress, Freehand, Publisher, Microsoft Office such as Word, Powerpoint, Excel or JPG, GIF or Bitmap images are usually not acceptable for printing. Please do not take a low resolution image and change the name to an .eps or .ai extension. This doesn't change the quality of the file to vector.
There are two types of art files: bitmap and vector.
Bitmap files: are raster based and composed of individual pixels. JPG, GIF, PNG, TIF, BMP files are always raster based.
Vector files: use mathematical relationships between points and use paths connecting them to describe the image. Files such as AI, EPS, CDR, PDF are usually vector based. Please remember that you cannot take a raster image such as JPG and change the extension to AI to convert it from a raster file to vector.
Due to the low quality of the raster file it usually results in poor printing standards. We want your products to have the best impact and your image to be at its best. We're not trying to be difficult when requesting vector files, we're only protecting your image and branding.
The good news is that our team of graphics professionals can create the correct art format needed for a fee. When you send us your artwork we will evaluate it and advise if anything needs to be done. We work with you to ensure that your designs and artwork is in keeping with our quality standards.
