Graphic Options
The
computers we use are PC platform, running Adobe Illustrator
10, Corel Draw 11, and Adobe Photoshop 7.0. We also have
Corel Photo-Paint 8. We accept any art files that can be
imported into any of these programs.
If
you are scanning images to send, scan at 400 to 600 dpi.
This will produce excellent results. Try to keep the file
size under 1.5 meg. You can also compress the file using
WinZip and we will unzip at our end. If you find that you
need some help in getting your image to us just call. 1 (800)

If
you are sending art to be screen printed, we prefer vector
type art files. These are files that have been created in
programs like Corel Draw, Adobe Illustrator, and Macromedia
Freehand.
If
you send us Corel Draw (.cdr) files. Please convert all text
to curves, prior to sending them. To do this select each
row of text and from the "Arrange Menu" click on "Convert
To Curves."
If
you are an Adobe Illustrator user, please save your files
as Illustrator EPS files. Also convert all text
to OUTLINES. This can be done simply by selecting the
text and choosing the "Create Outlines" selection
under the "Type" menu. It is very important
that you do this, as we may not have your fonts on any of
our computers.

Screen
Ready Art: This
is art that you might have had from a previous job, or
art that has previously been done by, or for you. Screen
ready art needs to be on film positives. Upon receipt
of the positives we will inspect the art and advise you
of any possible problems we foresee. We retain the right
to refuse any artwork not generated in-house. The positives
need to be actual print size. An art charge will be incurred
for any touchup needed.
If sending
halftone images, keep in mind our maximum l.p.i. Capability
for printing on garments is 55 lines per inch.
You can
send us artwork files via e-mail to e-mail@crystalclearlogos.com or
floppy disks that are PC readable.
We use
scanners with 600 dpi optical (9600 interpolated) resolution. We
output through 1200 dpi PostScript printers for creating
positives for screen printing.
We also
accept simple artwork by fax and can often make it printable
through computer recreation methods.
We can
also accommodate those individuals supplying hand drawn artwork,
through scanning, photocopying, and computer enhancement.
Remember,
if you have any questions regarding artwork, please send
us an e-mail or call
1 (800) 755-0377. We'll be happy to help you.
