PREPARATION
Your
first ½ hour of art time is Free.
Factory
determines if art is Camera Ready - meets production standards. This does
not include photocopies or PMTs of photocopies, business cards, letterheads
etc. All multi-color artwork must be color separated. For
Nylo-Flex, Color-Ons and Transglo, lines should be bold. Minimum line
thickness is 1/16" but bolder is even better! If art does not
meet these standard an art charge may be assessed. Type Styles will be
matched as closely as possible. Exact matches cannot be guaranteed.
CUSTOM
PICTURE (Four Color Process) Transfer art MUST BE SUBMITTED ON A DISK
and sent with a COLOR PRINT.
DIGITAL
ARTWORK
1.
Artwork should be saved in CorelDraw (vector graphic file), version x3
or older, and formatted with a .cdr extension. Vector graphics are made
up of lines and curves that can be filled or stroked with color. Vectors
contain no pixels as in bitmapped graphics. Bitmaps are not accepted,
unless single color, 100% to size, and saved in one of the following
formats: .eps, .tif, .pdf, or .pcx.
2.
Please use artistic text (no paragraph text), and then convert the text
to curves to ensure there are no font or printing conflicts.
3.
If the file contains multiple colors, please make sure that all colors
are "SPOT" (pantone) colors.*
*Individual
process colors may be used if they are assigned as separate individual
colors. Example: Objects filled with 100% cyan are acceptable, objects
filled with green (100% cyan and 100% yellow) are not acceptable.
4.
When using spot colors please use the following postscript options for
the .cdr file.
Postscript
Type = Dot Frequency = 20 dots per inch Angle = 30°
When
using the color white as a backing ink color, use Pantone Transparent
White from the spot colors list.
5.
Please make sure that all drawn objects assigned a color fill are
designated as closed paths. All outlines assigned to a drawn object
should be no less than 1 ½ points and all outlines should be check
marked for "scale with image".
6.
Please send or fax a printed copy of the art. This will ensure
that the electronic file will produce a transfer that is exactly as expected.
In the event of a problem or question with the electronic file, please
include the name of a contact person and their phone number or e-mail
address.
7. You may send the graphic file
on a 3.5 diskette, zip disk, or cd via mail or electronically as an attachment
to an e-mail message. If you send your order via e-mail be sure
to include your company name, address, type and quantity of transfers,
and the number of colors. Please send e-mail to: art@mach3art.com
8.
Please make sure that all diskettes and files are virus free prior
to sending.
