File Formats
Applications
We can work with files created in the
following native applications:
- Adobe Illustrator®: CS6 or earlier (Guidelines Below)
- Adobe Photoshop®: CS6 or earlier (Guidelines Below)
- QuarkXpress®: 9.0 or earlier
Colors
All files should be in Pantone or CMYK
color mode. Please provide either the Pantone Colors or mail
in a colored sample.
Resolution
For optimum print quality, we suggest all
raster images (Tiff, jpeg, photoshop files, etc) meet our
resolution guidelines of 300-450 for photos and 600-1200 dpi
for line-art. Images that don't have enough resolution may
appear blurry or pixilated when printed. This guideline is for
images placed at 100%.
