Artwork File Types

We can accept your artwork in many different formats. The most common file types are EPS. files and AI.

We can accept files in the following formats:

• TIFF
• EPS
• AI
• PSD
• JPG
• native Photoshop, Illustrator and Quark files.

Font substitution is always consideration when using native files. Fonts should be converted to curves or outlines whenever possible. We highly recommend using Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop for designing and preparing files for submission and printing.

Below you will find detailed information on each native format and special requirements that may need to be considered.

Mac users:

We are a PC based shop but can accept Mac files. Fonts must be converted to outlines or
curves to avoid font substitution. Font substitution may be a problem if uncommon and decorative fonts are used. File conversion is available but will add art charges to your order.

Illustrator CS

(.AI, .EPS; also exports as Photoshop PSD) Convert fonts to outlines, save as version
9 or earlier.

Photoshop CS

(.PSD, also exports file types including TIF, GIF, JPG, BMP, EPS) Create color seperati
on layers, save as version 5.5 or earlier, or save each layer as a different bitmap (preferably TIF) file. Fonts should be rendered before sending or you will need to include any fonts used so we can view and print it properly.
