Art Requirements

In order to give you the highest quality imprint, we have developed some artwork guidelines:

All copy should be 9 points or higher, smaller type may fill in.

• All lines should be no thinner than 1 point.
• We recommend Arial font for the best printing results. Serif or Script fonts are not recommended on small items nor do they print well in caps.
• Clever Advantage requires a resolution of artwork no less than 600 dpi (no 72 dpi jpeg or gif files).

Preferred Programs for Vector Artwork:

• Corel Draw (saved as Corel X3 or earlier). All Corel files must be vector files. Convert all text to curves, outlines, or paths.
• Adobe Illustrator (saved as an EPS, Adobe Illustrator version 9 or earlier. If using Macintosh computers, you must save file with the eps.extension).

EPS: Save all native Illustrator files as an EPS. The file must have all fonts converted to outlines. This should be a vector file. A vector file is resolution dependant, which means it can be scaled to any size and printed on any output device at any resolution without losing its detail or clarity.

Files We Can Recreate From:

• Photocopies, faxes, business cards, letterheads, and all non-vector art from the internet.
• Files from word processing software such as Word, PowerPoint, Ventura Publishing, Microsoft Publisher and Word Perfect.
• Quark, XPress, Adobe PageMaker or files from any other page layout software.
• Adobe Acrobat PDF files.

Have no fear, we can vectorize your artwork for you and we will vectorize basic logos for FREE!

Any art that requires “touch up” work, color separating, ad copy changes, etc. will be billed at $65.00 per hour. Note: Our delivery schedule may change depending on the quality of the artwork submitted.
