 If your layout...  
  vector art only …has been completely drawn in a vector application:

and uses no bitmapped images.
• Convert all text into outlines.
• Export and submit your art as an .ai file (Adobe Illustrator).
• See 'Print Information' below.
bitmap art only …is a single bitmapped file:
(Adobe Photoshop, or any other application that creates
an image composed of pixels.)
• Save and submit your image as a .tif or .eps image.
(120 pixels per inch at final size for best quality).
• See 'Print Information' below.
  vector and bitmap art … uses both vector and bitmapped images:
(Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia Freehand, Corel Draw etc.) and uses bitmapped images.
• Convert all text into outlines.
• Place the bitmapped image(s) into the
vector application as a linked file.
• Export and submit your art as an .ai file (Adobe Illustrator)
• Include the linked bitmapped image(s) SEPARATELY as a .tif or .eps file.
(120 pixels per inch at final size for best quality).
• See 'Print Information' below.

Please DO NOT create your final file in Quark Xpress, Adobe Pagemaker, Adobe Acrobat or other compositing applications. Our full color images are NOT output as separations and these applications imbed color profiles, which produce unpredictable results when printed with our system.
