GENERAL ARTWORK
REQUIREMENTS
To achieve the highest quality in
our work, high quality artwork is required.
Below are guidelines, which will
help you provide acceptable electronic files. We reserve the right to reject any
artwork not suitable for engraving.
Black & White
Artwork:
Artwork
should be black and white Black = Blast/Frost, with no colors, shading or
shadows (half tone not acceptable). Colors and shading cannot be reproduced with
sandblasting or sandcarving.
Artwork should be at least 300 dpi
resolution for best results. Lines and edges should be very sharp and clean (no
jagged edges or bitmaps).
Minimum line or space resolution is .01
Provide us
with Black & White or Color Photographs, or digital file in tif or
jpg.
Sending Files
Electronically:
Our Art
department uses CorelDraw and Adobe Illustrator for computerized artwork. If you
would like to send your artwork to us on disk or via e-mail, it should be in a
PC compatible digital format. Save as either an Adobe Illustrator (.eps or ai)
file or a CorelDraw (.cdr) file. In
Adobe Illustrator, all text should be converted to curves to avoid possible
conversion of fonts that cannot be matched. Please include a laser-printed hardcopy
for reference. If your digital artwork were unreadable, we would then scan your
hardcopy. EMAIL your artwork to:
info@creativeartglass.com
