ELECTRONIC
ART REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS PRODUCT ONLY
|
|
IMPORTANT:
Below is what the plant that makes this product requires to
reproduce high quality imprinting directly from your art file without any clean up,
recreating or typesetting charges being necessary.
The printing,
marketing, PR, or communications person/office on your campus will
be familiar with the programs and terms below and likely already
have art in this form or can adapt it for you. Off campus
printers of your business cards, stationery, or brochures are also a
good source. |
|
|
|
Formats: |
MAC or PC
|
|
Software/Programs: |
Adobe Illustrator
(preferred), Photoshop, Freehand, Corel Draw, Quark or InDesign.
|
File Types:
|
.eps
(preferred), .tiff, .pict, .jpg, .ai. saved as
vector art (required so that the file can be adjusted in size to fit
the imprint area without any loss of quality). If scanned images
are used with artwork, they must also be sent. Files may be
compressed with Stuffit or WinZip.
|
| Fonts: |
Convert all type to
curves, paths or outlines (vector art). Include all placed files
along with the screen and printer fonts used in the document.
|
| Resolution/Size: |
600
d.p.i., actual size or
larger. All scanned images must be initially scanned at this
resolution. Lower resolution art "saved as" the
higher resolution will not work.
|
|
Colors: |
Image
should be black and white. Separate
multiple color imprints as spot colors with no trapping.
A color composite must also be included for reference. Tints and halftones cannot be foil stamped, but depending on the
type of artwork, they may be used for debossing or screen-printing.
Submit artwork for recommendation. |
|
|
|
If you are
unable to provide art per the above, simply email us what you have
and we'll provide an estimate of the cost to make it camera ready
(usually $25-50 depending on complexity). |

HOW
TO SEND US THE ART:
|
1. First, fax a printout to (678) 482-0771 so that we'll have a back up
copy to attach to your order paperwork.
We use this to answer any questions the
plant has about content or layout. The plant uses it for visual
comparison to confirm that no corruption of your art file occurred during email
transmission. Please jot the purchase order/reference number we
assigned your order in the upper right corner of your fax. |
|
2. Email the art file to us at art@greatgiftsforschools.com.
Use the purchase order/reference number we assigned your order as
the subject line of your email. |

That's it! We appreciate your order and
look forward to working with you on your project!
