Artwork Files Accepted

We accept files for logos in the following formats: jpeg, gif, tiff, bmp, pdf, psd, ai, png, qxd, pmd, and cdr.

All other artwork files will need to be submitted as detailed below. Any other file will be submitted for review, which will result in the order being delayed. If the customer does not have access to a graphic designer, we can create the artwork, free or charge on projects up to 3 ink colors, based on a Word, Excel or even a fax or drawn document.

Artwork and/or images used must always be at 300 dpi (dots per inch) in resolution or the print will be blurry and/or pixelated.

Even though an image may print fine on an office, presses are more accurate and will show a pixelation if the resolution of the file is too low.
