Font/Color
Information
-
Convert
text to paths, curves, or outlines (Vector Art).
-
If this is
not possible, include all screen, CAD and printer
fonts
used in the file.
-
Indicate
any necessary color matches using the
Pantone® (PMS)
Color System whenever possible.
- File
Information
-
We need a
copy of all linked files used in creating the
artwork. Include a separate copy of all
bitmaps
used in the artwork.
-
All CAD
files must be "explodable" - that is, all
lines, objects, blocks, text, etc. must be able to be
exploded while maintaining their original desired content and
position. We often need to change fonts, layers,
or other attributes that can only be altered in an
exploded object. Embedded text, bitmaps, or blocks
that reference external information will prevent us from
accurately converting your files.
-
It is
preferred that compressed files be self-expanding, or
compressed with Winzip or PKZIP.
-
Always
include, via mail or fax, a paper copy of the artwork
when sending files so that we can verify your computer
artwork for file content and integrity when opening.
-
Always
keep a copy of your original files. Do not send your
only copy.
