Print Ready Art Files | Hawkeye Printing and Graphics
What type of file format we prefer and how we like them saved:
We prefer to print from pdf, eps, ai, High Resolution jpeg or tiff files. All files must have the Fonts Outlined or Curved, jpeg and tiff images saved as High Resolution prior to incorporating into your design and Embedded, then save the file as Press Quality.If you choose to have your design to have Bleeds (color goes off the page) then set your document size 1/8" larger per side and open all color and or images that do bleed to the edge and please do not add Crop Marks.
If your artwork contains Blue, please ensure that the Cyan and Magenta colors are at least 30% apart in values which helps your Blue from looking Purple when printed.
Providing Your Own - Print Ready Artwork
If you want to design your own artwork or have a graphic designer do the work for you you will need to follow the guidelines listed below for print ready art.
Please keep in mind that some programs that come with your computer
can produce different results from one computer to the other. That is
why we ask for print ready artwork.
Print ready artwork enables us to produce the best printed material
during production and without unwanted results. Please remember, what a
print looks like when printed from an Ink Jet or Laser printer may not
look the same when printed from a Printing Press. Below is how we would
like artwork from you if you choose to provide your own artwork.
Your provided artwork is still your responsibility to ensure accuracy. We ask that you please ensure that all of your artwork and info is accurate.
