ACCEPTED
FILE FORMATS AND RESOLUTION
Artwork
can be accepted either in 600dpi printed or in digital form in one of the following
formats: PDF, Photoshop EPS, TIF, PSD, WMF or AI. Customer must provide fonts when
necessary to reproduce text in graphic files.
DESIGN
TEMPLATES
Download
a design template for use in Photoshop or other graphics editing program to easily
position your custom artwork to fit the target size and resolution:
To download a template,
right-click the link (or Ctrl+click if using a 1-button mouse) then choose "Save
as...". Graphic file formats: Photoshop PSD format, JPG/JPEG format
High resolution artwork is normally available in one of the above listed formats.
NOTE: Low resolution or "continuous tone" photos or artwork found on websites
(i.e., .GIF or .JPG clip art or images) is typically not suitable for camera-ready
print production and cannot be used as-is without further graphic editing or enhancement.
Preferred resolution: 600 dpi (Minimum resolution: 300 dpi).
 |
|
|
High-res
artwork provides a sharp
image when enlarged or printed.
|
Low
resolution artwork becomes
pixelated (jagged) when enlarged.
|
Please note: As there is no visible quality improvement in foil hotstamping on album
cover materials using resolutions higher than 600 dpi, there is no advantage to providing
artwork of a higher resolution - it will be reduced to 600 dpi in the creation of
the die.
