Artwork Guidelines
Sending Artwork as PDF
- High-resolution (print quality) PDF documents. Include 1/8″ bleed at trim edges.
- WRONG TEMPLATE, INACCURATE FILES, LOW-QUALITY GRAPHICS WILL BE REJECTED.
Sending Artwork as Layout Files from “Native” Program
- Collect all elements: use “Package” & “Collect for Output” in program.
###### Fonts
- Printer and screen fonts. Use font from list – not styles: bold, italic, etc.
- Type in Illustrator files: Convert to outlines/paths (curves in CorelDraw).
###### Images
- Hi-res photos: 300 dpi CMYK & grayscale. No RGB/72 dpi graphics.
- Scan/line art: 1200 dpi, bitmap images.
- Save as: PSD or TIF format.
###### Graphics
- Vector (outline) art: Convert all type to outlines.
- Use proper color mode (CMYK – not RGB).
- Save as: EPS format.
Ink Color in Your Artwork
- ALL COLOR GRAPHICS MUST BE CMYK. Not RGB or PMS (spot) colors.
###### Images: Rich Black
- Text, thin rules and thin graphic elements should be specified as 100% black (no CMYK).
- Build larger, solid black areas at: C60%, M40%, Y40%, K100% (240% ink coverage).
###### Blue in CMYK graphics
- Blue can cast toward purple – how to avoid this?
- Refer to Pantone® 4-Color Process Guide & Pantone® Color Bridge.
- Select a blue-formula with 30% more cyan than magenta in the mixture.
