Artwork Requirements

Vector Artwork Requirements

To achieve the best results for your custom dryer covers, artwork needs to be submitted in vector format. This ensures that the image will remain sharp and clear, even when scaled to different sizes.

Accepted File Types:

• Adobe Illustrator (.ai)

• Encapsulated Post Script (.eps)

• Portable Document Format (editable in Illustrator) (.pdf)

• Scalable Vector Graphic (.svg)

These formats are based on mathematical equations (points and lines), which allow the artwork to be scaled up or down without losing quality. This is crucial for printing high-quality, crisp designs.

Why Vector Art is Important

Vector art is different from bitmap art (such as JPEGs or GIFs). Bitmap art is pixel-based, meaning that when you enlarge the file, the image can become blurry or distorted. Vector art, on the other hand, remains clean and crisp at any size. So, if you submit a JPG or GIF, and it’s resized, it will not look sharp, which is why you need to ensure the artwork is vector-based.

Furthermore, we cannot control what color the printer will print with a BMP, GIF, JPG, JPEG, PNG, or TIFF.

How to Check if Your Logo is Vector

• Not vector: Files that end in .jpg, .jpeg .gif, .bmp, .png are not vector files.

• Vector: Files with .ai, .eps, .pdf, .svg are typically vector-based.

• Uncertain: If you're unsure whether your logo is vector, you can email the logo to our team and we can verify it for you.

What to Do if You Don’t Have Vector Logos

If you don’t have a vector version of your logo, the team can re-draw it for you, though additional fees will apply for the re-drawing service. We'll provide a quote based on the complexity of the logo.

Color Considerations

For color matching, be sure to specify the exact colors you want for your logo. For example, if you want your logo (and product) in New York Rangers colors, explicitly mention that in your instructions.

Things that affect color accuracy during the entire printing and sublimation process:

• Printer & Printhead Brand

• RIP (Raster Image Processor) Program

• Environmental Factors: Air temperature, humidity, heat press temperature, and dwell time of the fabric can all affect how the colors appear.

Despite these variables, the team uses high-quality fabrics and industry-leading sublimation technology to ensure the colors are as consistent as possible.

Can I use a copyrighted photo or trademarked logo on my products?
