Screen Printing

	File Types	Required Specs
Preferred	AI EPS PDF	File is already print-ready if vector-based. Create all type to outlines (no images placed).
Accepted	PDF PSD TIFF	300dpi or greater is preferred. Under 150dpi is not accepted. File must be built to final print size. File must contain artwork on one layer with transparent background. May require a design fee if On Time needs to alter the file.
Might be usable	BMP GIF JPG PNG TIFF	We may need to recreate these in another format to be able to print them. Artwork re-creation, if necessary, ranges from $30 to $100+

Embroidery

	File Types	Required Specs
Preferred	AI BMP EPS GIF JPEG PDF PSD TIFF	300dpi or greater resolution is preferred (the higher, the better). Low resolution (72dpi) art is usually fine for embroidery unless the design is very detailed.

Include all embedded (placed) images with your artwork. Convert all text to outlines. Artwork should be created in CMYK mode.
