What is Camera Ready Artwork?
In order to make printing plates to print your store name or logo on a bag we need camera ready artwork. Camera ready means that the artwork has to be exactly how you want it to appear on the bag. In addition, the artwork must be clear, the lines must be solid as the artwork will be photographed then copied to a plate Business cards, letterheads, etc, are not finished art work because they have to be manipulated by an artist to create a clear black & white representation of what your want with everything in the correct position. If you supply us with camera ready artwork, there are no artwork charges. If our artists have to re-arrange and clean up the copy given to us, there is an art charge of $65.00. This art charge is for simple artwork only. Design work & logo work is charged at $65.00 per hour. We can accept artwork on a 3.5″ disk or a Zip Disk in the following formats: PC image types (TIFF, JPG, BMP,GIF) or Mac (Adobe Illustrator, Quarkxpress, Photoshop, BMP, TIFF and EPS).
