Download Artwork Requirements

When preparing artwork...
Our art department can accept files from most professional publishing and graphics software. However, we cannot accept any electronic art that has been created using these programs: Word Perfect, Claris Works, Microsoft Works, Microsoft Word, or Power Point. If you have artwork that was created using one of these programs, please contact us to discuss an alternative solution. Jpegs and Gifs are not acceptable. All artwork should be saved as CMYK and at a minimum of 150 dpi. Please send the files in the format they were created in. Build files at 100% and include a quarter inch bleed around all sides of the artwork. In multi-SPOT color, documents must use colors from the Pantone Matching System (PMS) Library.
