Art Work
Vector Based Artwork:
If you had your artwork created by a graphic designer you more than likely can get your
artwork in this format. Vector images also called object oriented or draw images, are
defined as a series of points joined by lines. Vector based images are resolution
independent, which means you can easily resize them from thumbnail size to billboard
size and not lose an quality of your image. This type of file ends in .ai, .eps, .cdr. If your
designer is able to send you the file please have them convert it to curves prior to
sending. This will avoid any problems with fonts not matching our graphic fonts.
Pixel Based Artwork:
If your artwork was not created by a graphic designer but the artwork was created in a
Pixel based program such as Photoshop/Word etc. using clip art and fonts. With this type
of art you are working in a world of color and photographic quality imagery. Pixel
images also called bitmap or raster images are made of individual dots called pixels that
are arranged and color differently to form a pattern or picture. When you zoom in you
can see individual squares that make the total image. In this type of artwork resizing
could affect the quality of the image. Please try to send us a clean .bmp, .jpg, .tif, .pdf, or
.gif. file.
Scanned Art:
This would be if you took a scanned image from a drawing, yellow pages, newspaper ads,
business cards, letterhead, or photocopies. We may be able to work with this type of art,
but we would need to review it and let you know.
Concept Art:
If you only have a rough sketch or concept we will be able to help you make your vision
a reality. If you want something more custom we will have our graphic artist draw up
several ideas for you to come up with what you are looking for. The art fee for this
service starts at $100.00. Then once the artwork is complete we would be able to use it for
your screen printing project.
If you are not sure which format your artwork is in please contact us at 626-340-7964 so
that we may assist you in determining what you have.
