Artwork Requirements


Cutting Files

True Type Fonts .TTF . OTF

YES.... We can use any true type or open type font for cutting operations. Attach to email.

READY ARTWORK

Adobe Illustrator EPS and .AI Files

We require 2D vector artwork for all cutting operations. The preferred format is .eps or .ai made with adobe illustrator. Please save files as VERSION 8 files before sending them to us. This version converts embedded fonts and objects to lines and curves. Not all EPS formats are vector art. EPS made with or converted to photoshop are raster files and show only as rendered images. These files are not the same as the native vector art that it was produced as.

.DXF and .DWG - autocad

We can use these files as a last resort. We dont care to use this format as the autocad font functions do not render text very well and most files end up being a series of lines without any curves. This makes for a lot of clean up which we charge for.

.JPG, .PNG, .JPEG, .GIF, .BMP - Photoshop etc

These types of files are image files. They cannot be used for cutting files but they can be used for calculating quotes on jobs.

CORAL DRAW

Please send files created with coral draw as .CMX

.PDF and Fax

The slogan says "Is it better to give or to get a PDF" ? Our response: .. Neither! We hate PDF! Same goes for fax's

Word processers - Microsoft Word etc:

Are you serious ! .. Please no files from word, publisher, wordperfect ..... these are for documents!
