FAX YOUR COPY/LAYOUT
Please FAX a printed copy of your artwork for reference only to
FAX: 410.480.8044, so we can compare the fax version to your emailed version. We DO NOT ACCEPT faxes for artwork, they are only for reference only!
WE ACCEPT ELECTRONIC ARTWORK and evaluate the quality of artwork files accordingto the industry's SM@RT guidelines for artwork readiness. We accept VECTOR files and BITMAP files for illustrations and PAGE LAYOUT files for some of our larger products. We prefer to not receive METAFILES but we
will accept and convert them to PAGE LAYOUTS. Generally, we require Pantone numbers to identify colors and our separations are made for spot color, not 4-color process printing. When halftones are involved, our line screen is 85. Traditional camera-ready artwork will be scanned, not reproduced photographically.
Artwork charges may apply to files that do not meet the SM@RT guidelines. Our art department rate is $60 per hour. You will be advised in advance of any charges applicable to your order.

We also accept files submitted on 3.5" diskettes, 100mb ZIP disks, and CD-ROM media.
FONTS should be sent along with your artwork files, particularly for orders that could repeat with text changes in the future. Any vector files sent without fonts MUST have the text elements converted to "outlines" or "curves".
PRINTOUTS and PROOFS are essential to avoid errors. We require a printed rendering of any artwork file we are expected to use for printing. We will show the most relevant, efficient and timely proof possible to obtain your approval of the imprint before the order is produced. There may be additional charges for proofs.
STORAGE of your artwork is routine for 18 months following shipment of your order. Upon request, we will return artwork files which may include changes made to produce your order. In certain circumstances, there may be additional artwork charges to compensate us for our proprietary work performed to produce imprinted products with your submitted artwork.
