Graphics
All Images must be saved as CMYK and no less than 300dpi. NO RGB FILES! We accept TIF, JPEG, PDF and EPS formats. Greyscale/colour images should be scanned at 300 dots per inch, and as close to the final required size as possible.
Lineart/bitmaps should be scanned at 800-1000 dots per inch, and as close to the final required size as possible.

Vector & Raster (bitmap) files:
Vector art is key for printing. Vector files are able to be enlarged from a small size to a large format such as billboard size and keep the same crisp quality. However a low-resolution raster (bitmap) graphic will appear to be very blurred or pixelated if enlarged from business card size to billboard size. Vector file format: Illustrator.eps. Converting vector files to raster (bitmap) files can be easily achieved. However converting raster files to vector is much more difficult (and often is not possible).
Raster file format: Photoshop.tif or saved in EPS format.
