Artwork Requirements
To ensure
timely workflow and best quality of work, it is important to receive existing
artwork, ideas, engineered drawings, logos, images and related items from our
customers in acceptable formats. Our
systems are Macintosh based. PC artwork
should therefore be saved in or exported to Adobe Illustrator (.ai or .eps)
file format if possible.
