BABYLON BURNING - ARTWORK GUIDELINES
We are a Macintosh based shop but files
created in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator on a PC compatible
computer are acceptable.
We do not accept files created in Microsoft
Word, Microsoft Excel or Microsoft PowerPoint. We are not able to create
separations from any files created with these programs.
Images created for the internet are
generally unacceptable as image resolution is generally too low (72
dpi) to correctly reproduce the image on a t-shirt.
Adobe Photoshop files must be at 300
dpi at final print size.
To alleviate confusion all type should
be created in Adobe Illustrator and converted to outlines.
When placing images created in Photoshop
into Illustrator do not enlarge the placed image. Resizing the image
changes it's resolution. Even though the original Photoshop file is
300 dpi, if you enlarge it 300% in Illustrator the resolution becomes
100 dpi.
All PANTONE colors must be specified
using solid, coated colors. A color copy of the artwork is extremely
helpful for matching purposes. A proof is required for all 4 color process
and simulated process jobs.
Please consider the color of your selected
garment when submitting artwork. For your own reference place your artwork
on a background color of your selected garment color. Artwork is separated
differently for different color garments.
Please label your artwork with your
NAME, PLACEMENT (front, back, left chest, sleeve, etc) and COLORS.
Files over 10 megabytes will need to
be sent via yousendit.com or another comparable service able to accommodate
larger files.
VERY IMPORTANT, Files must be sent at 100% print size. If not, the print size must be specified by the customer. Mock-ups are good for placement and reference but there is no way for us to determine the actual print size.
