Artwork Guidelines
mahmood (5 pencils) | Mon, 2011-08-08 07:32* The resolution of your artworks should at least be 300dpi (300 pixels per INCH or 118 pixels per CM) to create high quality printing matters. If your image contains texts, we suggest you use higher resolution artwork up to 600dpi.
* Before creating PDF files, please create outlines for all the fonts, or attach the TrueType TTF fonts you used in the artwork, as we do not print directly from the PDF files)
* Texts in image files (JPG, GIF, BMP, PNG) will not be printed as sharp as other formats with text layers like Corel Draw, Illustrator, Photoshop, PDF, Freehand, Indesign... We suggest you send us your source files with texts layers to us to get better printing result. If you do not have the source files, please use higher resolution artwork up to 600dpi.
* If you have used special fonts (or Mac fonts), please send the TrueType TTF font files to us as well, to avoid any font problems, please transfer the texts into vector paths (create outlines).
* Color : All color are nominated CMYK (Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-Black), depending upon the printing process by which your job will be printed. Please note that certain Pantone colours are outside the printable colour range of CMYK devices. Screen colours are never accurate, please check Pantone or CMYK specifications. If your CMYK artwork contains large areas of the color black, we strongly recommend the addition of at least 40% (C) Cyan in addition to the 100% (K) Black to produce a richer better looking black. Please note that colour settings need to be more than 8% to be printable.
* Texts and Lines : Texts must convert to paths, curves or outlines. A line thinner that 0.076mm will not appear on output.

Well, you can cut and paste. Congrats.
Question is do you understand any of this?

-Resolution is dependent on the printer and stock, it's not always 300DPI+.
-Before creating PDF's, please convert all fonts to outlines... because we don't print from PDF's. What?
-All the stuff in the middle, same schtick as above
-That black you posted turns the black a dark blue, you have to mix multiple values for a super black.
I was talking to a small business owner last week. She just hired a company to do her website, and bought the "SEO Optimization" special feature. This was the actual result. The company pays Chinese minimum wages for people to do this all day. They give them a couple keywords, search google and cut & paste random text with links to website at the end. Most of the time they can't read what they're posting. So we end up with crap like this. Usually they're at least tangentially relevant, like this one offering printing. But I don't know why CreativeBits gets so many random unrelated ones.
while not completely inaccurate, more than a little bit dated.
All artwork must be camera ready, formatted to digital and at 300 lines per pixels.
Yes. You may quote me.
