Artwork Guidelines
Vector Art
Vector Art is art that is built (actually drawn) in a vector or object based program such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Flash, Corel Draw or Macromedia Freehand. Each object in the vector file can be selected and individually manipulated independently from the rest of the image.
Vector Art – The BEST to send us! Common file extensions for this type of file include .ai, .eps, .cdr and .fla. When providing such files, it is important to convert fonts to curves or create outlines for all text used. For a vector art file (i.e. Adobe Illustrator file) with no placed images resolution is not a concern.
Photo Realistic Art (Raster)
Photographic Art (or photo realistic design) is art that incorporates scanned imagery, or art that is built in a pixel based program such as Photoshop, Fireworks or Photopaint. Raster Art – Common file extensions for such files are .psd, .tif, .jpg, .gif and .png.
Irish Hills Print Co accepts vector as well as raster files from the following programs:
- Adobe Illustrator
- Adobe Photoshop
- Adobe Fireworks
- Adobe Flash
- Corel Draw
- Macromedia Freehand
- Microsoft Paint
- Microsoft Photo Draw
This includes any art built in a vector based program that also incorporates imported or placed photographic elements. In order to reproduce a photographic image, we require a digital file with a resolution of 300 dots (pixels) per inch at the final print size or the actual photo.
CorelDraw files may be used. All Type or Text must first be converted to outlines. The file must be saved as ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR FILE type, which is an option when you hit save, in a pulldown menu in the dialog window box.
PLEASE CHANGE ALL FONTS TO OUTLINES BEFORE SENDING. Failure to do so will result in font substitution- our computers will substitute your fonts with whichever font they can.
PLEASE INCLUDE DIMENSIONS FOR THE FINISHED SIZE OF THE ARTWORK.
If you are unsure about any of the above directions, but would still like to set up your own artwork. Contact us and we’ll give you a better idea of what we mean by shirt ready art.
If you are looking to send multiple files, we suggest that you zip them up and send using our Large file Upload area here.
