We can accept raster files only in a tiff format and if the image is 300 dpi at actual size to be printed.

If the artwork is multi-colored, a vector format with spot colors must be provided unless the final print is to be a CMYK print.

For magnets with a bleed see our bleed requirements.

We can accept PMT (photomechanical transfer). We can usually use laser printed artwork if printed on quality white paper,  there are no halftones, and if the print is at least the size of the desired print. Artwork containing halftones will have to be delivered digitally, or reproduced.
Almost always artwork printed from an inkjet printer is not usable. We must see artwork to make judgment.

We reserve the right to refuse any order.

We cannot use:

Faxed artwork

jpeg images

pre-printed decals, or other pre-printed items

We can assist in creating artwork, Our charges are $35 per hour. This is a fraction of the cost of a graphics house. We strive to offer our customers the best value.

It will expedite your order to provide us with acceptable artwork. Our production times listed on our product pages are strictly for production time. If artwork needs to be created or modified it will add to the turn around time.
