The programs below are not recommended for large format printing and may not reproduce correctly. Please export the file as an EPS or high resolution (High Quality Print setting) PDF suitable for large format printing.

FLAT FILES:
Flat files cannot be modified at our facilities, except for global color changes (i.e. brightness, contrast). A flat file is useful to verify layout and position but is not recommended as a print file.

LAYOUT:
Link your artwork into the artwork layer of the template. templates are created at 100%. DO NOT CHANGE TEMPLATE SIZES. You may create your images at 50% however they must be created at twice the DPI. Rasterized text will become distorted when scaled. Vector art can be scaled to whatever size as long as it is proportional to the final size.
PLEASE NOTE: Fabric stretches keep items three inches from the stitch lines to assure they wont get stitched through.

RESOLUTION:
Optimal results are achieved with images printing between 125-150 DPI at final size. DO NOT rez-up images: this only pixelates the image more by adding artificial pixels. Please submit images at full size.

COLOR MATCHING:
Due to different printers, ink and media, not all colors can be precisely duplicated. We will do our best to come as close as possibleto the colors you request. We strongly recommend ordering a print proof to approve any color matches. If your project requires a Pantone color match, please reference a Pantone Solid Coated chart and make sure the color is included in your file. You may also send us a printout as a guide. Color matching and print proofs will add extra time to production, please plan accordingly.
PLEASE NOTE: For a rich black on fabric must have the following values (100 Black, 40 Cyan, 30 Magenta, 30 Yellow) Ink jet= (C: 70 M: 70 Y: 70 K: 100)
