   registration marks.

   or  positives.

How to Send the Art Electronic Transfer (E-mail) Send files to the email address & fax number to the right. Files should be compressed before sending to speed the Transfer. The factory can expand many formats including those created by DiskDoubler and Stuffit for Macintosh and ZIP for PCs.

Disk
   Send files on any media listed below.
Disk Sizes: 3 1/2" Floppy; SyQuest 44, 88 200 (5 1/2"); Jazz 1 GB; Zip 100; CD-Rom;
   3M Super Disk (120)

Miscellaneous Information
Fonts
   Include all font files. For Trutype fonts there is one file. For Postscript fonts there are two
   files, a suitcase file and a printer file. Type that is converted to outlines or curves in
   programs that provide this function do not need font files.

Graphics
   Include all linked graphic files. Many programs do not embed a graphics file such as a
   TIFF. It is only linked. Therefore, to print properly, it must be included on the disk or
   e-mail.

Trapping/Overprinting
   Is is not necessary to trap your files. Trapping will be done electronically at the factory to
   our specifications. Be sure to check for any unintended overprinting items because these
   will not trap.

Size/Bleed
   The factory will size your art to fit unless you specify otherwise. An additional artwork
   charge may apply for extending complicated bleeds.

  Balloon Artwork
      Because of the balloon's convex surface, 2-color registration can shift up to 1/8", in any
      direction.

*If you do not send artwork in either of the above suggested files, we cannot be responsible for any quality issues. The better the artwork, the better the product.
