Artwork Requirements 1. Digital vector artwork saved from Adobe Illustrator CS5 (or earlier) Convert all text to paths/outlines to eliminate the need for the fonts to be present when we open your file. Paths also make logos more stable and less likely for spacing to change between letters or words. PLEASE INCLUDE ALL FONTS AND IMAGES IF YOU USE THEM. DO NOT EMBED IMPORTED IMAGES. LINK ALL IMPORTED IMAGES TO THE FILE Artwork should be created in CMYK color. Preparing artwork in RGB mode is not recommended, as color matching is problematic. Bleed - If you want a full bleed please include an 1/8" bleed on all sides. For example, if your sticker is 5" x 3", your canvas size needs to be 5.25" x 3.25" (or .125" extra on each side). 1/8" will be cut off during trimming, leaving you with a 5" x 3" sticker. 2. Digital artwork saved as a TIFF, PSD, or JPEG file from Adobe Photoshop CS5 (or earlier) or another similar pixel based graphics program. These images MUST be created at 300 DPI resolution at the final size you want your image to print. (i.e. if you're printing 3" x 6" stickers, the artwork should be created at that size at 300 DPI aka 900 x 1800 pixels). If you save a file as a JPEG, DO NOT compress it below a 9/high quality. The more you compress a JPEG the worse it will look when printed. Avoid JPEG's if you can. DO NOT TAKE ARTWORK FROM THE WEB. It is usually saved at 72 DPI, which will print HORRIBLY (and may also be illegal if the image does not belong to you)! Do not resize/blow up an image from 72 DPI to 300 DPI as it will still print badly (a low resolution pixel image will look even more pixelated when blown up). If you are sending Black & White art with gradients, make sure to change it to Grayscale Mode before saving. If the artwork is solid Black & White change it to Bitmap mode. Doing these things will reduce your file size enabling you to email the file to us easily.
