HOW DO I GET MY ARTWORK TO YOU?
  Email If sending your artwork by email, please make sure it is in an .eps or .pdf format.  Artwork in these types of files are generally easy for us to adjust the size to fit the print area of the tote(s) you are ordering.
  Postal Service If sending your artwork by U.S. Postal Service, make sure the artwork is flat (not folded) and does not have any holes from staples, etc.

 

WHAT IS THE BEST ARTWORK TO USE?
  The best artwork is black and white only (like "clip art") without any gray tones.  You can test the artwork by making a photocopy of it.  If the photocopy is exactly as your original, then your artwork is usable.  However, if it looks as though specific objects or phrases run together, then your artwork probably contains some gray tones.  In some instances, they gray tones can be cleaned up by our staff for a nominal fee.  We'll be happy to quote you an amount before proceeding with your order.

 

CAN WE USE THE LOGO ON OUR LETTERHEAD OR BUSINESS CARD?
  If you are using a logo from your letterhead or business cards, you may want to check with the company that handled your printing.  They may have a digital image of your logo, which works much better than enlarging a very small image.  Click here to see how how a business card logo looks.

 

CAN WE USE A DRAWING/SKETCH?
  A drawing/sketch is usually very detailed in many different colors and/or gray tones, which is not suitable for screen printing.  However, we have an outside source that has provided many of our customers very good "line art" from their drawings/sketches.  If you are interested in receiving a quote for converting your drawing/sketch, just give our customer service representatives a call.  We'll be more than happy to help you through the process.  Click here to see a before and after sample.
