Types Of Artwork For Custom T Shirt Printing

• Convert all fonts to paths or curves. (Text converted to paths can no longer be edited as text.)
• For Mac users, an alternative is to include both screen and printer fonts.
• Multiple color jobs should be created using spot color mode rather than process color mode.
•
If possible, send proofs of color separations for multiple color jobs.
• Include all EPS and Tiff files used in creating your document.
• Do not email files larger than 2 or 3 meg. Large files should be saved to a zip disk than mailed or shipped to us.
• When creating artwork, remember that our printing process requires the "trapping" of colors on multi-color jobs.

    Common Questions
• Q: Can I send a .jpg, .gif, png file for art?
• A: Yes only for viewing. These files are usually lower resolution and will not reproduce well at all. We need a higher res. file like .tif or .psd. These files should be sent at a resolution of 300+ at actual size.

• Q: I want a 2 or 3 color design. Can I send a .tif or .psd. 
• A: Yes for viewing purposes only. Art for 2 or 3 color will require it be created in a vector based program. Raster images can only be separated as 4 color process.

• Q: I'm not sure what I need to do
