In order to produce the best imprint of your logo as possible, please keep in mind:
• Artwork must be black and white only.
• Black lettering on a white background only.
• No colors.
• No gradients or shading.
• No patterns.
Artwork should ideally be created using an illustration program and saved in vector format as an .EPS file.
• No artwork created in Microsoft® Word.
• No artwork in jpg, bmp, png or gif file formats
• No artwork scanned from business cards, letterhead, etc.
• If artwork is created in Photoshop, it should originally be created at 300dpi—not created at a smaller resolution and then enlarged and saved at 300dpi.
Artwork should be crisp and clear.
• No fine lines. They reproduce poorly when the plate is made.
• No closely-spaced lettering or lines. They reproduce poorly when the plate is made.
Artwork should be the exact size of the intended stamp.
• Artwork that is smaller than the intended stamp must be blown up to the size you need, which causes the artwork to be less crisp. This reproduces poorly when the plate is made.
• Artwork that is too large must be reduced to the size you need, which also causes the artwork to be less crisp. This reproduces poorly when the plate is made.
