Art Specs


As a general rule:
NO TWO PIECES OF ARTWORK WILL BE THE SAME.

Our art department may need to approach your particular design in a way that is unique to it. So please use the following information as a guide and feel free to call us with any questions you may have.


Artwork can be sent in the following formats:

Camera Ready
Art in the form of a paper positive or a clean laser print. Please include color separations if it applies.

Film Positive
Art must be at the intended (100%) imprint size, color separated, emulsion side up, and all halftones are out-put at 40 line screen or less, if necessary.

Computer Generated
Enviro-Tote® uses Macintosh based systems in our Art Department. The best type of art for our printing method is vector artwork.

We use primarily Adobe Illustrator CS3 which produces vector art that provides spot color separations.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 has limited use for us because it generally can not be used to provide spot color separations and it is not a good program to produce text from.

For all other software users:
If you save the file as a native Illustrator file we may be able to read your file. Such files are generally acceptable as long as the file has been exported as an .eps file and not just renamed as such.


Additional Requirements:

Convert all type to curves, paths or outlines:
If this is not possible you must send in the screen and printer fonts used. Remember, we can only use Mac fonts.

Please provide a hard copy or a composite for proofing purposes.

You must provide a color copy for all process prints and heat transfers, as a color proofing guide.

Limitations:
We do not accept bit-mapped (.bmp), Jpeg (.jpg) or Giff (.gif) files.

Canvas is a coarse material, to ensure that the print quality is as clear as possible, several things must be considered when designing your art.

Line Weight: Must be no less than 1.5 pt. rule. When printing on 15 oz. or when using reverse print use a minimum of a 2 pt. rule.

Halftones: Must be at a 40 line screen or less, with percentages no less than 20% or greater than 60%. For the best quality, halftones are treated as an additional ink color and will be billed accordingly.

No Trapping: If colors come in contact with each other they CAN NOT overlap.

Typestyles: Should be no smaller than 15 pt. on 10 oz. fabric with a minimum of 1.5 pt. rule; 20 pt. on 15 oz. fabric with a minimum of 2 pt. rule. Do not use reverse type smaller than 22 pt. with a minimum line rule of 3 pt. Avoid serif typefaces! Their detail tends to get lost in the canvas.

Art Size: If your image exceeds 12 inches in any one direction please call for options.
