Introduction
From time to time, you will have your own artwork files which you will need to send to us for production.
If you are sending us your own artwork then please follow these guidelines which will ensure problem-free
production of your job.
If you do not have your own artwork, we will be pleased to provide you a quotation.
- Computer Systems
Arrow Signs operates both Windows PCs and Apple Macs and we are happy to receive artwork
generated in either format.
- Fonts
Without exception all files which contain fonts must have the fonts converted to shapes/curves to eliminate
font issues. If this is not possible then we will require compatible fonts to be supplied with the art file.
Compatible fonts must be either True Type, Open Type, or Type 1.
- File Types
We accept most standard art file types. For images, we can accept these formats:-
JPEG, TIFF, EPS and PSD (PhotoShop with layers)
For artwork with composite elements (such as a page layout) we can accept:
Adobe Illustrator (AI), Adobe Illustrator EPS files (EPS)
Adobe Photoshop EPS files (EPS), Portable Document Files (PDF)
You can send us original photos which we will scan or you can send digital images / photos from digital
cameras. Avoid sending images from other websites or from Google Image Search. Aside from copyright
issues, such images are rarely suitable for production use. (300dpi half size is acceptable)
IMPORTANT:
Please do not supply art files in QuarkXpress format, instead collect and save the file as an EPS.
We also cannot accept artwork files generated in any Microsoft products such as Word, Publisher, or Frontpage.
