9. Artwork Submission Guidelines.
We accept artwork in almost any PC based format provided that the images are clear enough for us to see all of the details. Remember, the better the artwork, the better the digitizing. You may send art as vector (EPS & CDR) or bitmap (jpg, gif, bmp). For bitmap images, 200 to 300 dpi resolution should be enough to achieve good result. For vector artwork, be sure to convert the fonts to curves or lines. If the fonts are not converted, we may see a different font and digitize the file incorrectly. We also request that your comments be specific if your artwork is not self-explanatory (additions, deletions, all fill, etc).
