Vector-based programs (Illustrator, Freehand) produce crisper edges on text and shapes than pixel-based programs like Photoshop and therefore make for a clearer print. Please create separate folders for Documants, Images and Fonts.
Scanning
Any scanned images should be scanned as high resolution scans and saved as CMYK in TIFF or EPS format non compressed, and imported into your file to get the best results. Full colour and halftone images must be scanned at a minimum of 120ppi (240dpi) to full scale actual size i.e finished artwork size.
We accept original art, transparencies, 35mm slides, prints or negatives for high end scanning and placement.
