For best registration on final product, art files should
be submitted to Specialty Incentives in a vector format (Illustrator, Freehand,
or Corel Draw EPS), versus a raster or pixel-based format (Photoshop PSD, PCX,
JPG, or EPS).
TIF, JPG, PSD, and
Photoshop EPS images are of acceptable quality as long as they are created at
600 dpi (dots per inch) or higher.
JPG (72 dpi or lower),
GIF, and BMP (bitmap) images are simply not acceptable due to the poor quality
of these graphics.
Images that are placed
into such desktop programs as Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint are also not
acceptable as digital artwork. These programs do not produce as high of imprint quality.
When submitting
artwork via e-mail to your Account Manager please indicate the program and
version used for the art generation.

submit art via:
- LogoDepot

floppy disk (Mac or PC)
