Information about customer supplied graphics files:

Paint Program Files:
There are hundreds of different file types that can be used to contain graphical information. Some of them are more versatile than others, and some can be downright problematic when it comes to generating camera-ready artwork for the screen printing, rubber stamp, or offset processes.
Some of the most common file types we receive include  GIFs, Jpegs, Bitmaps, and TIFs. While these file formats are easily viewed, they are not as easily edited or scaled. These file types often do not produce satisfactory camera-ready artwork, but can be quite useful to convey to us what it is you would like so that we can generate the finished design in-house.

Drawing Program Files:
If your design was created in a vector-based drawing program, such as CorelDraw, Adobe Illustrator, Freehand, etc. then it is preferable to keep the data in a vector format rather than converting it to a pixel format (such as the types mentioned in the preceding paragraph).
This means saving (or, in some case, exporting) your design as an AI (Illustrator), EPS (Encapsulated Postscript) or CDR (CorelDraw) file.

Our preference is the CDR file type, as our Graphics Department uses the CorelDraw 9.0 graphics package. These vector-based file types are very versatile, fully scalable, and are typically of camera-ready calibre.

One important point to note with vector files is that all text should be converted to curves/outlines in case we do not have any of the fonts used in the design loaded on our system.

What We Use:
Our Graphics Department uses Pentium computers running on a Windows platform.
This means that any designs created on a Macintosh platform must be saved as PC files, and that BinHex decoding should be turned off in your Email software when sending us your design.
