Art Guidelines

Camera-ready art is a sharp, legible copy printed in black on white paper that requires no further touch-up.  It is ready for reproduction of company logo, illustrations and special typefaces where exact duplication is required.  It is exactly as you want it on the product (except maybe for the size).  Your camera-ready art can be reduced or made larger, but no changes or touch-up can be done to qualify it as camera-ready.

A Fax copy, or a Xerox copy of camera-ready art does not qualify!  Any art not printed on clean, white paper does not qualify.  These will require special handling, which will result in artwork charges.  They are not camera-ready.

When  you do have camera-ready art, be sure not to fold, use paper clips, scotch tape or staples on it as it can result in art charges to fix the damaged areas.  Be very careful in protecting the artwork for mailing, too.

What about art for two-color art?
Two-color reproduction does require separated art.  Separated art consists of two or more pieces, one for each color to be reproduced.  Whatever shows in black will be imprinted.  Each color will be on a different plate.

For multi-color artwork, please provide camera-ready separated artwork.  Non-separated artwork will incur art charges.

The file must be prepared to produce camera-ready black & white or color separated artwork.
(Send it to your laser printer to be sure you are getting the proper quality and separations, because if it will not separate for you, it won't separate for us.)

Any files requiring manipulation will incur art charges.
