TEAM MAGNET REQUIRES ART TO BE SUBMITTED IN MAC FORMAT
For artwork submitted in other formats, please be sure to contact your sales respresentative or email the art department directly at info@teammagnetpromotions.com - otherwise additional art charges may apply.

RESIDENT SOFTWARE:
Illustrator 11.0(CS), Photoshop 8.0(CS), Quark Express 6.1

ACCEPTED MEDIA:
CD Rom, DVD Rom, Emailed Art, 100-250 MB Zip (mac or PC)

PROVIDING FINISHED ARTWORK/LOGOS:
Artwork and logos should be provided as follow:
• Illustrator files should be saved as EPS (preferably back-saved to version 8). If transparency is used, please export artwork to Photoshop and save as EPS.
• Illustrator file fonts need to be converted to outlines.
* If the files are Raster Images (such as a scanned image or picture), they need to be at least 350 dpi in CMYK mode (not RGB).
• Photoshop EPS files need to be saved as 'Binary'.
• Photoshop TIFF files need to be saved as 'Macintosh Byte Order' (do not select LZW compression).
IMPORTANT - Please do not send JPEG images, as these are compressed image files and will give blurry images when output to process printing.


PROVIDING ARTWORK/LOGOS TO SCAN:
Art should be clean of any smudges or wrinkles. Art cannot be smaller than the desired printing size. Note: if we are scanning an image to use - it can only look as good as the art provided, small text and detail will look blurred.

FONTS:
We accept Macintosh Postscript fonts as well as True Type fonts. Please provide all used fonts. Be sure to include all printer and screen fonts. Please convert all Illustrator file fonts to outlines before sending.

COLORS:
We print in 4 color process (CMYK). RGB images will be converted to CMYK. If you require a specific color match for a logo, please make sure it is provided in CMYK and matches Pantone’s Process Mix for that color. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR COLOR SHIFTS FROM CONVERTING TO CMYK.

NOTE: Some Pantone (PMS) colors do not separate to CMYK well. If the color match is critical, a separate “spot” PMS ink may be used at a significantly higher cost.

BLACKS:
Please make any large “black” areas (in logos, backgrounds, bold headlines) a “rich” black of C40, M30, Y30, K100. Small text should only be K100.
