Good & Bad Artwork Samples
The samples below are to show the difference between
good and bad submitted artwork.


Good Artwork:

This artwork can be used
on most any of our items
and does not need clean up.
(submit larger than needed)
Bad Artwork:

This artwork is blured and
needs clean up in order to
be used for engraving.
Bad Artwork:

This artwork is badly blured,
needs areas lightened and
needs much clean up.
Very Bad Artwork:

This artwork is badly outlined
and is missing critical detail.
you would get what you see.

All artwork should be submitted larger than what you would
like the engraving to be. This way we can reduce the image
to make the engraving nice and clean. If artwok is submitted
smaller than desired engraving, your artwork will engrave
with pixels and unsmooth edges, unless it's an EPS or CDR.

When submitting your artwork, remember that thin lines will
disapear when your art is reduced, therefore make sure your
art has nice thick lines as opposed to 'hair thin' lines.

NOTE:
No Zip Files Please.         No Faxed Artwork.
Files larger than 300KB will be deleted without opening.
No Document Artwork Files       No Embedded Files.
