What is Camera Ready Art?

Logos, images or artwork sent must be: clear, sharp, line artwork, color separated, without jagged edges. Type appearing in logos, if any, should be the same quality and may need to be reset by our Art Department. We will match your font as closely as possible. We cannot accept copied / faxed artwork, shaded artwork, patterned artwork and artwork with screens. "Color separated" means artwork is sent separated out using the same number of colors that you expect the finished product to have. For example: If you would like the finished product to be two color, your artwork should be sent in two color. The PMS number or standard ink color also needs to be indicated for each color separation. "Camera Ready" refers to art and copy that is ready to be imprinted onto a product without any retouching. "Retouching" means art needs to be reworked or "cleaned up" on our computer by an artist (which would result in additional charges).
