. To better serve you better, we do use both Mac and PC's, but our main and graphic platform of choice is the Apple Macintosh (the industry standard). The primary software program used is Adobe Illustrator (also the industry standard) due to the vector file format's advantages in screening images onto balls and t shirts. BUT, we are able to use files in many formats anywhere from sketches to faxes to bitmapped images. . SENDING FILES
fonts turned into outlines. OR sent a second file with live fonts (not turned into outlines) logo@TSGsports.com VECTOR If you are sending artwork, we prefer if available vector type files. These are files that have been created in programs such as CorelDraw, Adobe Illustrator and Macromedia Freehand. This will insure the integrity of your logo through the process. Plus in some cases gives our designers more freedom to design you something special. A final advantage is that the files tell our designers valuable information such as the colors originally called out for the job by the original designer. . ILLUSTRATOR If you are an Adobe Illustrator user, please save your files as Illustrator files. Also convert all text to OUTLINES. This can be done simply by selecting the text and choosing the "Create Outlines" selection under the "Type" menu. It is very important that you do this, as we may not have your fonts on any of our computers. Also, have the designer spec the colors used on the logo with color names called out. . FREEHAND As with Illustrator files, just be sure to turn all fonts into outlines. This avoids having to send fonts, match text, and spelling errors. Export the Freehand document so it can be read in Illustrator. Also, have the designer spec the colors used on the logo with color names called out. . COREL If you send us CorelDraw .cdr files, please convert all text files to curves and export as an ai file prior to sending to us. This can be done by doing the following: Once you have completed your layout, select all text items and choose "BREAK APART" from the Arrange menu. Select all the text again and choose "CONVERT TO CURVES." To send us .ai files that have been created as .cdr files in CorelDraw, follow the "Break Apart" and "Convert to Curves" procedure as outlined above and then use the "EXPORT" command to save your file in .ai format. Also, have the designer spec the colors used on the logo with color names called out. . BITMAPPED If you are sending us bitmapped images (photographs or digital art files that contain photo-like images) we usually get very good results with tif, psd (Adobe Photoshop), or jpeg files. You can also send us bmp and gif files, but the resolution is usually better on the latter. Please send the biggest image you can find at the highest resolution. If you are scanning images to send to us, scan at 150 to 200 dpi, this will produce excellent results. . PHOTOSHOP We also can use files composed in Adobe Photoshop. . We also can use files created in Adobe Acrobat as in pdf files (Portable Document Format). . OTHER FAX / DRAWINGS We also accept simple artwork by fax and can often make it useable through computer recreation/touch-up methods. We can also accommodate those individuals supplying hand drawn artwork, through scanning, photocopying, and traditional paste-up methods. Remember, if you have any questions regarding artwork, please contact us and we'll be happy to help you. . WORD ART We can except logos created in Word, but we need a Screen Shot (Print Screen) of the logo. This will allow us to see what the logo looked like on your monitor, as Word does not have the ability to outlines the text. . Of course, we can accept artwork files from any of these programs. These files would have to be redrawn in a vector type software to be used on the product. Here are the type of files that we can accept:
The following is a list of our most popular ink colors and the approximated Pantone color. This color list is provided for your convenience and should not be used for exact matching due to differences in printing ink systems and web / monitor reproduction.
