and perfect shrink size for your products without any

distortions of the graphic.

· Preferred File Formates:

Our preferred file format is an Adobe Illustrator document. we work mainly out of Illustrator because it is most compatible with our presses.

We can also work with a high-resolution PDF from Photoshop.

· Photoshop Tips:

If using Photoshop please accommodate for bleed,or extra print space,by increasing your file size by at least 4mm around the outer edges.

Please keep in mind that a few things in Photoshop won't work properly when you open a Photoshop layered file in Illustrator,including layer

Effects,Adjustment Layers,and Blend Modes. If your Photoshop file has these,you'll want to either flatten the image in Photoshop --or at least

those effects--before saving as a PDF.

· Type & Links:

These files need to include the type converted to outlines and all links embedded.
