Graphically Yours

Computer Disk File: We are both Mac and PC based. When sending us a file via email, floppy disk, zip disk or CD, please follow these important instructions.

Screen Print or Applique Jobs: (Mac or PC files) All files must be vector! This means that the files must be comprised of outlines and not pixils. All lettering within files must be converted to outlines also so as to avoid font confusion. Acceptable file types include: .ai, .cdr, .plt, and most .eps files. This artwork can be emailed to dschultz@flagsource.com.

Program Specifics
1.Adobe Illustrator 9.0 or less vector files. 2.CorelDraw 11.0 or less vector files (PC only) 3.Macintosh CorelDraw files that have been exported as Illustrator files. 4.EPS vector files from other programs can be sent, however they may need to be altered by one of our graphics professionals for use. In some cases font substitutions may be necessary.

Four Color Process Jobs: (Mac or PC files) Illustrator 9.0 or Photoshop 6.0 files. Mac files are preferred. We will accept both vector and pixilated images for our 4-color process work. We can easily scale any vector files that we receive, however when sending pixilated files such as .tiff, .jpg, .bmp, .psd or pixilated .eps files, please keep final output quality in mind. In other words, the higher the quality of the file, the higher the quality the output image will be. Ideal resolution would be between 150 and 200 dpi at final output size. This artwork can be emailed to graphics@flagsource.com.

Camera-Ready Art: Please note that camera-ready art is NOT the ideal choice for sending artwork. Computer files are the preferred choice of art and may be the only acceptable form of artwork when images contain a large amount of detail or lettering. Scanning camera-ready artwork into the computer causes unwanted changes in quality and cleanliness of images and requires much clean up that is otherwise unnecessary when original computer files are used.

Camera-Ready Art: A pure black image on a pure white or clear film base. The edges of the image should be clean and crisp. No jagged edges or half-tones please. When half-tones are necessary, films will need to be produced which will create additional art charges. The ideal size for camera-ready art would fit on letter or legal size paper.

For a multi-colored application, it is necessary that the artwork be color-separated (still appearing as black and white art). A color composite should be included to show the design as it will appear when finished.
