PRINTING SPECIFICATIONS

There are many different ways to print artwork onto a disc. These methods can be somewhat difficult to understand. Following are the different types, and a brief description to help you in creating your artwork.

Artwork Guidelines

In order to submit artwork, please follow these guidelines:

• Save the artwork to a PC format (for CD/R and DVD/R Printing). MAC is fine for replicated disc printing (i.e. silkscreen and offset)
• Images must be at least 300 dpi.
• Tonal ranges must be between 15% - 85% for silkscreen and offset printing.
• If artwork is created in a higher version, please save the file down to one of our versions listed
  • Adobe Illustrator 9.0 (preferred)
  • Adobe Photoshop 6.0
  • Adobe Pagemaker 6.5
  • Quark Xpress 4.2
  • Corel Draw 8.0
• Outline all of your fonts/text or include PC based fonts
• Save artwork as an .eps file (helpful, but not necessary)
• Include all of the resources, such as fonts and images
• CD-ROM artwork can be saved as CMYK or Pantone Colors. CD/R artwork needs to be saved as CMYK.
• Templates and a detailed list of Artwork Specifications can be provided via email.

Compatibility/Formats

For in-house printing on CD/R's and DVD/R's, our printers are attached to PC compatible computers. However, we do have the ability to read MAC files, but this does not mean we have the ability to read MAC fonts.
