ARTWORK
Customer supplied Artwork must EITHER be camera ready artwork OR a digital file.
ARTWORK THAT WORKS CUSTOM ART SERVICE
Croakies custom art service is dedicated to offering you the highest quality service and best quality custom imprinted products available. However, a large part of our success rests on the
original artwork that you send to us. Customer supplied Artwork must EITHER be camera ready artwork OR a digital file. Ideally we prefer original, digital, vector art files. This offers the best quality result, with the quickest turnaround and no additional charges.
Artwork charges are $56.00 (V) per hour with a one hour minimum. Customized artwork (artwork not supplied) - $56.00 (v) per hour Ink Color Change - $10.00 (v) per color
Copy change- $30.00 (v) DIGITAL ARTWORK FILES
We would prefer to receive artwork which has been created in the following applications and formats:
• Adobe Illustrator vector files (ai or pdf) or exported 300 dpi eps or tiff files
• Freehand vector files or exported 300 dpi eps or tiff files
All fonts in the document/file must be converted to paths or outlines. Please keep in mind that fine hairlines cannot be reproduced in silkscreening. If your logo has thin lines, small type, or small type with thin lines it will have to be altered. This may incur additional artwork charges. Also, keep in mind that all artwork to be printed must be solid lineart, we cannot print halftones or greyscale images. If specific ink colors are to be printed, please make sure the document clearly lists which colors they are. Currently we support Pantone and Wilflex color matching systems. Exact color match is not guaranteed due to different products and printing processes, however every effort will be made to match as close as possible.
Other forms of artwork are acceptable and generally work well, but could possibly result in extra costs and delays.
We can also accept files saved as Photoshop, JPEG, GIF, PDF, etc. if the file has been created at a high resolution (300dpi) and is 200% the size the artwork will imprint. Please keep in mind that the files must be created as high resolution files to start with. Remember, pixel based, digital files cannot be resampled to higher resolutions. THIS IS WHY WEB GRAPHICS ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR SILKSCREENING. THEY ARE USUALLY 72dpi - NOT 300 dpi. Because Photoshop files, JPEGS, GIFS, PICTS and other similar file formats are pixel based, they may require additional time/artwork charges to make the artwork suitable for silkscreening.
If you send us artwork in a digital format other than listed above be aware that a). we may not be able to open the file, and b). we will have to spend additional time reformatting, reconstructing and separating artwork to match and or meet our requirements for silkscreening. This will incur additional artwork charges and will delay the completion of your order. Note • Please be aware that the above mentioned applications are all we currently support. Artwork charges are $56.00 (V) per hour with a one hour minimum.
CAMERA READY ARTWORK
If the artwork is not set up digitally we can accept black and white camera ready artwork. This artwork should have clean, crisp, well defined edges and should be supplied to us on paper at 200% the size the artwork will imprint on the product. Please keep in mind that if the artwork is very rough we will have to spend additional time and charge extra for extra cleanup and reconstruction. Artwork charges are $56.00 (V) per hour with a one hour minimum. Also, if the artwork is multicolor and you are sending black and white art on paper, it will need to be supplied to us in the form of separations. Remember we only print solid lineart so if your multicolor artwork has halftones it will need to be converted to solid lineart before you send it to us.
Camera Ready Art IS NOT the following; business cards, letterheads, faxes, newspaper art, photocopies, printed products or web graphics.
HOW TO SUBMIT ARTWORK
Artwork can be supplied to us on these media types: ZIP disks, DVD’s or CDs
Artwork can be emailed to customs@croakies.com. Please also send a low resolution jpeg or pdf proof to jennifer@croakies.com.
Please note • The customs@croakies.com email address is only for artwork.

Please send a low res. jpeg proof of your artwork to your Customer Service Representative. This will assist the Cust. Service Rep. in writing your order. It is a good idea to name your files with names that will easily connect them to your order.
