What is the best file format to submit by logo in?

Print-quality (300 dpi or better) .tif and .eps are the best formats. If you do not have a print-quality logo file, you can usually obtain one from your marketing department. We can sometimes pull your logo from a print-quality PDF file. We will be happy to review the PDF file to see if we can get a good quality logo from it.

Files that either came off of your website or have been optimized for web use are not acceptable as they are not of high enough quality to generate clean printing artwork.

What is the difference between bitmap and eps file types?

Bitmap images are defined by a precisely "mapped" collection of individual dots or pixels of various colors. EPS (Encapsulated Postscript) files define graphics using mathematical algorithms that allow for scaling and modification without a loss of image resolution.

Can I use artwork containing PMS colors?

Yes, we will accept files with PMS (Pantone® Matching System) colors in .EPS or .TIF file formats.

What is 4-color process Printing?

The process uses combinations of varying sizes of blue (cyan), red (magenta), yellow (yellow), and black (black) dots to create images. You see four color process printing every day in color pictures in newspapers. Also sometimes called CMYK. We use 4-color process on all of our personalized products.
