Artwork.
Our software can open the following formats. If you are unsure of what to provide please forward this sheet to your graphics person.
CorelDraw
- CorelDraw
- All versions up to X4 supported
- File Formats .cdr
- All fonts should be converted to curves
Illustrator
- All versions up to CS3.
- File Formats .ai or .eps file.
- Embed or include all linked images
- All Fonts should be converted to outlines.
Adobe Photoshop
- All versions up to CS3.
- File Formats .psd or .tif file.
- CMYK (Four Colour Process) - 300dpi at 100% print size.
Do not flatten the Photoshop file if you created it with layers as it is quicker and easier for adjusting the file to print to have all the original layers. Please rasterize all fonts contained within Photoshop images before submitting. Do not include the Background (e.g. T-shirt colour) on the same layer as the artwork to be printed. CMYK artwork should always be supplied on a transparent background.
Embroidery.
File Types
| Vector Files formats: |
.eps, .ai, .cdr |
| Bitmap Files formats: |
.jpg, .bmp, .tif, .psd, .png |
All bitmap images must be over 300dpi.
With the embroidery we have to redraw the complete logo regardless of the art provided. If a bitmap, please make sure it is a reasonable size 300 dpi file. PMS colours are best to match to as computer monitors are all different.
Screen Printing – Spot Colours.
File Types
| Vector Files formats: |
.eps, .ai, .cdr |
| Bitmap Files formats: |
.jpg, .bmp, .tif, .psd, .png |
With the screen printing we have to separate the colours and bitmaps make this very difficult to do this. Vector files give the best reproduction and are the easiest for us to work with. PMS colours need to be specified and also the logo should be sized.
Screen Printing – 4 Colour Process Printing.
File Types
| Vector Files formats: |
.eps, .ai, .cdr |
| Bitmap Files formats: |
.jpg, .bmp, .tif, .psd, .png |
All bitmap images must be over 300dpi.
With Process printing we can accept bitmaps as well as vector files. For best results make your bitmap 1:1 size. If there are any areas in the image that need to be an exact PMS we can add 1 spot colour, please indicate when sending. As there is a lot of variation in monitors and printers a hard copy printout of the file helps as we then have something to match to.
Transfer – Digital.
File Types
| Vector Files formats: |
.eps, .ai, .cdr |
| Bitmap Files formats: |
.jpg, .bmp, .tif, .psd, .png |
All bitmap images must be over 300dpi.
Digital transfers are a CMYK process and therefore we can accept bitmaps. Please size 1:1 and make sure that the image is at lease 300DPI. The printer can achieve 720dpi so the bigger file the better the print will be.
Transfer – Screen Printed Transfers.
File Types
| Vector Files formats: |
.eps, .ai, .cdr |
All bitmap images must be over 300dpi.
With the screen printed transfers we have to separate the colours and bitmaps make this very difficult to do this. Vector files give the best reproduction and are the easiest for us to work with. PMS colours need to be specified and also the logo should be sized.
