We use Adobe Creative Suites to create and manipulate artwork; however, we also have a variety of other software applications on hand as well to serve our customers.

Please make sure that all images that are being used are 300 dpi (ppi) or greater. Images that are less or are taken from the Internet will often be pixelated or ‘blurred’ when printed.

* Image formats: The best image formats are JPG, TIF, EPS, and PSD. Take notice of your fonts for EPS and PSD images, because they have layers linked to fonts. TIF images can sometimes have layers, too. For JPG images, keep the Photoshop quality at 6 or higher. Web image formats (GIF, PNG) do not produce good print quality.

For users of Adobe InDesign, we please ask that you use the Package function to pack all necessary fonts and images together along with your original file so that we can have everything necessary to print.

For users of Adobe Illustrator, please make sure that all type is Outlined before sending the file that you need printed.

For Microsoft Publisher users: When creating your Document please make sure that you have it set for Process Colors (CMYK) under TOOLS -> COMMERCIAL PRINTING TOOLS -> COLOR PRINTING otherwise your job will not print correctly.

* Microsoft Publisher users: If sending the original file please choose the Pack and Go function under File, then choose Take to a Commercial Printer.  This will pack all necessary fonts and images together along with your original file so we can have everything necessary to print.
