Logos must always be provided in vector-based software*, or editable EPS on transparent background (final size or higher, CMYK color, minimum resolution of 250** dpi (preferable resolution is 300 dpi).
If images are created with vector-based software* and are going to be linked, they must be provided (with non-broken links) in a folder named "images" or "pictures".
Photographic images, or images containing gradients (artwork for sublimation jobs), must be provided in PSD file format – preferably in layers (this will help production if slight adjustments need to be made).
PSD files should be provided in CMYK mode.
If artwork requires custom ink (Pantone©), images should be generated in DCS2 format. In vector software all colors MUST be specified in either Color List Window, CMYK and/or Pantone©.
