File Types and Programs Used:

• CorelDraw x4 (14)
• CorelPhotopaint x4 (14)
• Adobe Illustrator 6
• EPS
• JPEG
• TIFF

We are PC based and the software programs we use are CorelDraw x4 (14), and CorelPhotopaint x4 (14), as our primary graphics software. We accept most artwork files that can be imported in any of these programs.

If you are sending art to be used for screen printing, we prefer vector files. These are files that have been created in programs like CorelDraw, Adobe Illustrator and Macromedia Freehand.

Bitmap files, e.g.: JPEG or TIFF files must be saved at 300 dpi or greater. To produce an acceptable result.

Convert to CURVES:

Our program of choice is CorelDraw. If you send us CorelDraw .cdr files, please convert all text files to curves prior to sending to us. This can be done by doing the following: Once you have completed your layout, select all text items and choose "BREAK APART" from the Arrange menu. Select all the text again and choose "CONVERT TO CURVES." Then save and e-mail us your file.

We also get excellent results with Illustrator EPS (Adobe Illustrator) files or CorelDraw files that have been "exported" as .ai files. To send us .ai files that have been created as .cdr files in CorelDraw, follow the "Break Apart" and "Convert to Curves" procedure as outlined above and then use the "EXPORT" command to save your file in .ai format.

If you are an Adobe Illustrator user, please save your files as Illustrator EPS files. Also convert all text to OUTLINES. This can be done simply by selecting the text and choosing the "Create Outlines" selection under the "Type" menu. It is very important that you do this, as we may not have your fonts on any of our computers. Please save as a version 6 file.

Sending your Artwork: Email your Artwork and Order Form

You can send us artwork files via email or on CD's or floppy disks that are PC readable.

We also accept simple artwork by fax and can often make it useable through computer recreation/touch-up methods.

We can also accommodate those individuals supplying hand drawn artwork, through scanning, photocopying, and traditional paste-up methods. Remember, if you have any questions regarding artwork, please send us an email or call
1-800-654-1106. We'll be happy to help you.

Garment Form:

When you email your artwork there will be a small form to fill out about your order (Garment, Color, Brand, Quantity by size, Address, Telephone Number). Once the artwork and "order form" are received a formal quotation will sent via email, or phone, depending on your time requirements.
