| We understand that not everyone is a graphics person. Because of this, we get a variety of files sent to us. The absolute best file to send us is a fully vectorized, fonts outlined Illustrator file. We understand that not everyone has this option, so we're here to work with what you do have. Below is a list of file options, in order of preference: |
|
|
 |
| (.ai/.eps) - Since screen printed tshirts are printed with spot colors, this is the best file type to send. Be sure you have outlined your fonts (or at least provide them to us). We're updated to CS2 (CS3 coming soon). |
|
|
 |
| (.psd/.tif) - Please keep each colour on it's own layer whenever possible. Also be sure to provide or rasterize all fonts used in the file. The ultimate size is 300dpi at actual print size. For instance, if you want your shirt design to be 8"x8" - the file should be 8"x8" @ 300dpi... NOT 8"x8"@72dpi and NOT 1"x1"@300dpi. To check this - go under [IMAGE]-[IMAGE SIZE]- and look at the document size in the popup window. Keep in mind if you look here and the image is 8"x8" at 72dpi simply changing the 72 to 300 does not make a higher rez file. It will just change the size. Meaning that, if a file is low rez, its low rez, and you can't change the pixel ratio. This method is usually subject to an art charge unless you are getting full colour processed shirts. |

| We tend to get a lot of .jpgs from customers. One thing to keep in mind is the size of the file. Just like a Photoshop file, this file needs to be large enough and clean enough to work with. If you got the image off the Internet - it's probably going to be pretty small. (tip: when "Googling" images - keep the "image size" tab on "Large or Extra Large Images" to be safe). Look at the image and see if the colours are distinctively separate - (i.e. where one colour meets another - is it crisp or kind of blurry, blotchy or jaggedy). If we have to re-draw the image, a fee of $75/hr may apply (tallied in :15 minute increments). |

 |
| This is the old school way. We prefer if you choose this method to keep your lines as smooth as possible and omit the colour. We can add it in after we vectorize the image. An art charge is applied to this method. |
|
|
 |
| We would prefer not to handle these files, although if that is all you have that's what we will work with. An art charge will be added to this method. |

| It will be assumed that any artwork you submit is being used in full compliance with all applicable laws regarding it's usage.
