What are your art requirements?

In order to get the best printing results, we require vector artwork.

  • Adobe Illustrator (*.AI *.PDF) – Vector based artwork
  • Adobe Photoshop (*.PSD)
 All Photoshop files must be of high quality and a minimum of 300 DPI

If your artwork is hand drawn or scanned make sure it is of high quality (300 dpi or higher) and scaled to the desired print size. Note : Usually this type of artwork needs some cleaning up to be acceptable for printing. If this is the case and the project is simple enough, we will work on preparing your illustration to the best of your preference. If the artwork needs extensive work we will not accept the project.
