Below are the requirements we have pertaining to artwork
and how it should be supplied.
Electronic Art:
Custom Engraving prefers to use vector based art files
like .eps, .cdr or .ai files created in programs like
CorelDRAW or Adobe Illustrator without any embedded
images. For best results provide vector art without
hidden lines whenever possible.
Custom Engraving will accept art in the following file
formats:
CorelDRAW files:
• CorelDRAW 12 or prior versions
• Convert your text to curves. Once the text is
converted we will not be able to change the text!
Vector .eps files:
• We can import vector .eps files (We do not want
bitmap .eps files)
In order to do so you need to:
1. Convert text to outlines.
2. Save or export as a .eps for a pc.
Adobe Illustrator files:
• We can import Adobe Illustrator files into CorelDRAW
for our use.
In order to do so you need to:
1. Convert text to outlines.
2. Save as Illustrator 7 for a pc with an .ai file extension.
TIF images:
• We can accept TIF images
• Make sure the file is Black & White Line
art at 300 dpi
• The image needs to be the size it will be in
the final product or larger but not smaller.
• Files that are saved in this format are limited
to how they can be manipulated.
BMP files:
• We can accept BMP images
• Follow same guidelines as TIF images
For all electronic files…
• Please send a composite print-out of your artwork
for verification purposes.
• If the art is black & white you may fax
it to 616-878-5733 for verification purposes only.
Faxes are not acceptable forms of camera ready art!
We accept electronic art on the following:
• CD ROM
• E-Mail
You may e-mail your artwork as an attachment to art@engravingjobshop.com
Please be sure to reference what your artwork is for
in the subject of your e-mail. Always feel free to call
with questions concerning your artwork. It is the goal
of Custom Engraving to make it as simple as possible
for you the customer.
Non-Electronic Art:
Custom Engraving prefers Camera Ready Art Supplied on
CLEAN WHITE PAPER. If you do not have an electronic
file.
"Camera Ready Art" is…
• Black and white line art
• Crisp clear lines (no faxes please!)
• We prefer no halftones (Our art department must
approve all halftones!)
Custom Engraving Can Help Your Art!
Often we can make your non-camera ready art acceptable
with a little work in our Art Department. Custom Engraving
can…
• Re-typeset new information
• Clean-up existing art
• Create new art for use as logos or other placed
graphics
Please talk with your sales representative after the
Art Department has a chance to review your artwork needs
for a quote.
