Art format guidelines

Camera ready artwork is required, color separated and to size. If artwork requires typesetting, touchups or changes, extra charges may apply.When sending us art fles in a vector form, please follow these guidelines:
• Set your artwork up in spot colors using the Pantone Solid Coated pallette.
• Delete ALL colors from your swatches that aren’t used in the image. Only spot colors should remain.
• If a backgound is necessary to see the artwork, place it on a layer named “background” and use a CMYK color for it.
• If white is necessary, choose a clearly visible color and name it “white” in your swatch
• Make all strokes at least 1pt. Anything under may not print.
• Do not trap / choke any strokes. We have our own methods of doing this and it varies per job.
• Outline all paths.
• Provide all artwork at 100% print size in separate files, one for the front, one for the back. Name the files clearly. Example: BlueDevils_FRONT.ai
• Provide a low-res jpeg comp in separate files, one for the front, one for the back.

What are the set up costs for?

For screen printing you will pay a one time screen charge to make your stencil. Each color used in your design, requires its own screen. For embroidery we need to digitize your design – basically a disk containing the program to stitch out your design, again a one time fee. Screens remain property of Dee's T-Shirts Inc. There is no physical screen you can take with you. Cost is for labor involved in creating.
