All artwork must be in digital format. Your artwork MUST be:

• For colour matching – graphics are required to be designed in CMYK – NOT RGB.

General Requirements

If supplying high resolution images, please supply your images in TIF format (with no LWZ compression).
If there are any embedded images in your EPS file, please supply them separately.

Artwork should be created in CMYK colour. Preparing artwork in RGB mode is not recommended, and can affect colour matching.

All fonts must be outlined or converted to paths or outlines, otherwise all fonts used must be supplied seperately along with your file.

Illustrator is used for vector graphics and Photoshop for raster graphics.

Text should not be created in Photoshop unless special filters or effects have been added to the text.
Effects in Illustrator and InDesign should be avoided for print jobs as they are not for print use.

Software and File Requirements

• Adobe Illustrator
  Convert fonts to outlines and if placing high resolution EPS files in the illustration, please supply those images separately as well. Make sure your Document Raster Effect Settings are set to CMYK and 300-600 ppi, not to 72 ppi, otherwise any effects applied to your illustration (e.g.: drop shadows) will print out bitmapped or blurry in appearance.

• InDesign
  Save the file as an EPS, if you have placed any images in your illustration, please supply the original files of these images separately as well.

When sending files via to giftguru.ca, the above standards apply. JPEG files are not high resolution and will provide poor results. All Illustrator files should be saved as outlined EPS files.
