F.Y.I

* You can always call and talk to us about how to properly prepare your artwork for   

    printing. We are happy to answer your questions at no charge.

* All files must be 100% of output size desired. (i.e: 6x6 product / transfer is produced  

   from a 6x6 image).

* For readability, type text should be 12 point minimum.  We can print smaller font sizes 

  but it may be harder to read. Smaller fonts may be slightly harder to press and will take  

   extra care in peeling transfers.

* Do not use low resolution images or Googled cropped images. Printing does change  

    the quality of the image. What you give us is what is printed. Colors may slightly differ 

    due to monitor and printer settings.
* When sending files via the internet (e-mail, FTP, 3rd party) file compression such as 

   Winrar / Winzip is highly suggested to assist reducing file size and assuring file integrity 

   by reducing the chance of corruption.

* If supplied files do not meet our specifications, or if there are issues with your artwork    

    and you need us to make modifications, additional fees may be applied at a rate of   

    $25 per hour.  If you modified or fixed your artwork, proofs will be sent to you for final 

    approval.
