Formatting Artwork

Curtin provides the highest quality print production available.  To ensure your enlarged graphic images meet your expectations of clarity, it is important to follow these guidelines when creating artwork...

• Vector format (ai or vector eps) with a final image resolution of 150 dpi at 100% scale which translates to a printed output of 600 dpi.  Vector files can be formatted to any size without losing image quality. 
  This is not the case with bitmap images files such as JPEG, GIF, TIFF, etc.
• Logos clipped from websites are not at the optimal dpi and should not be embedded in final artwork.
• PMS color numbers for color print matching.  If you have samples of hard copy printouts or brochures, please provide these to assist with color matching.
• Fonts should be converted to outlines or paths prior to uploading the file.  A listing of the fonts is also recommended.
