Artwork Requirements
How should I send my artwork?
The preferred format for artwork is vector based EPS. High resolution images should be minimum 300 dpi in the following formats - Photoshop, Illustrator, PDF or JPEG files. For PDF and Illustrator files, the images should be embedded into the file. All fonts must be converted to curves/outlines and artwork should be sized to the approximate print area for the best results. Please note that custom artwork modifications will be charged at €50 per hour and the customer will be contacted if additional charges apply.
Text Requirement
We do not have a large library of fonts available to us, so all text must be outlined. See below images for information regarding outlining text:
