Production Guidelines for submitting artwork:

---

If submitting work produced in Adobe Illustrator:

• Convert all text to outlines, if not, please include the fonts used
• PLEASE: EMBED ALL IMAGES!!!
• PLEASE: DO NOT EMBED OR PLACE LAYERED PSD's! This is NOT proper procedure for working in Illustrator. Please flatten all artwork before embedding and placing into your Illustrator document as JPEG, TIFF or EPS files. Not following this procedure results in much larger file sizes than necessary and will also result in extended labor time!
• If you are submitting large patterns, or artwork with complicated masks, please be sure to rasterize these objects before saving (do not rasterize below 150 dpi). This also will result in much smaller file sizes and take much less time transporting.
• Size your art to the dimensions you want them printed
• If you are requesting our Stellar Cads(TM) and wish for them to be trimmed to the artwork, please include a bold 5pt stroke
  around the outer perimeter only. This will eliminate a white border around your cads

If submitting work produced in Adobe Photoshop:

• Please be sure that all artwork is properly sized (proper image size as well as dpi/resoltuion)
• Color modes / file formats:   If in RGB save as a JPEG with the Quality setting at 12
• Naming Images for print & web: no spaces (use underscores), no characters, all lowercase,
  use the 3-letter file extension suffix (eg: filename.tif or filename.eps).

If submitting a PDF:

• Make sure your PDF is created in high resolution
• If unsure how to create a PDF, contact for PDF settings.
