When acceptable digital art is not available, camera-ready hard art reduces (and sometimes eliminates) art charges, and helps to ensure a satisfactory imprint. Read the requirements below, then click here for how to mail your art to us.
Camera ready art IS:
* Complete, at actual imprint size, requiring no touch-ups, changes, or typesetting
* Same as above, requiring minimal re-sizing
* Complete layouts, not pieces requiring assembly
* Crisp line art or properly registered separations printed in black to:
* a laser printer on smooth white paper (not photocopier paper) at 600 dpi or greater, unfolded
* film positives or negatives
* repro paper, PMTs or "slicks"
Camera-ready art IS NOT:
* Anything requiring changes, typesetting or color separating
* Graphics or photographs you found displayed on a website
* Inferior quality art that has been re-sampled or re-sized, then printed in an otherwise acceptable way
* ink-jet printer or dot-matrix printer output
* Photocopies, textured paper, faxes, photographs, newsprint, business cards
* Very small but otherwise clean art requiring substantial enlargement (>200%)
* Full-color output of any kind, or halftones (dot patterns) printed on paper or film
* Any composite (non-separated) multicolored item printed as grays
* Cloth, art printed with metallic inks or foils, textured inks, raised lettering
* Rough hand-drawn art (unless that's how you want it to look)
* Anything stapled, folded, paper-clipped, taped or written on
* Imprinted products |
