Tips

Power Gifts prefers artwork supplied as vector art in the programs mentioned above.
When possible, save artwork as an EPS file
PhotoShop does a great job with images but the type tends to be jagged and have saw-tooth edges.
My favorite idea Please include a composite and color-separated hardcopy so we can be accurate.
When possible, convert all type to outlines, paths or curves
Please include all s and placed art on your disks to insure smooth handling of your job.
 











Power Gifts Artwork Requirements

 

 

 

Camera Ready Art

Camera Ready art should have crop marks and be separated into spot colors.
When ever possible, provide us art larger than the final size so we can shrink it.
Please keep in mind the final product and imprint size when setting up your art.
Designs with small details may fill in on certain processes and will require us to modify the art.

PhotoShop Specs

PhotoShop images should be supplied at 100% of the final size or larger.
Artwork should have a minimum resolution of 300 dpi at full size.
The higher the resolution we get the better the end result will be.
Images with text need a resolution at least 300 dpi at 100% so that the type will be tighter.
Process color images for tee shirts should be saved in RGB format.
We will convert to CMYK and color adjust for silkscreening.
Please provide a color matchprint for 4-color process art
