We also accept artwork inthe following formats: Macromedia Freehand®,QuarkXPress™, Adobe Photoshop®, InDesign®.• If production ready art is not provided, we will prepare it for you at a rate of $40.00 (X) per hour billed in 15 minute increments. You will be advised if the time is more than one hour.

Sending Artwork E-mail your art to artwork@fey-line.com with a purchase order # in the subject line. If your files are large you may also upload them through our website, mail us a CD/DVD, or upload via FTP. If sending your artwork by mail or FTP please notify us by e-mail. Once you have sent your artwork please fax a copyto us at 507-442-3686 to ensure we have the correct fonts. | 
| Fonts Convert fonts to paths, outlines or curves before sending. If this is not possible, include the fonts with your artwork. Font formats that are acceptable are Postscript Type 1, TrueType, Opentype, DFont and Multiple Master. Color Information Use the Pantone® color matching system. Specify the PMS# on your PO, whether ink is gloss (coated) or flat (uncoated). Gloss (coated) ink will be used unless specified otherwise. Trapping Trapping is the process of overlapping adjacent colors to avoid multiple-color registration problems. Trapping, also called choke and spread, is necessary in screenprinting. If you send your art in one of our accepted formats, we will create chokes and spreads (traps) for your artwork. Bleed An imprint is considered to bleed when the image runs to the edges of the product. We require an extra 3/16”of your image in order to bleed on a vinyl product. We cannot bleed on poly products. Halftones & Tints Halftones and screen tints are areas of color created by dots instead of solid ink coverage. Graduated screen tints are areas of color that gradually change their density from light to dark. Graduated screen tintsbelow 10% will not print. Tints of 90% or more will print solid. Please keep screen tints between 80% and 20%. If artwork is sent in one of our accepted formats, we can ensure that halftones & tints will be printed at the optimal line screen & angle. Line Screen Line screens refer to the number of lines per inch in a halftone image. The lower the number, the larger and more widely spaced dots will be. Higher numbers allow reproduction of fine detail. For screen printing purposes, 65-85 line screens are required. |
