* If you got your image off the internet - It\' is not a usable file for our process *

This is a very lengthy section, but very important to get the most out of your artwork so please read on. Acceptable “camera ready” screen printing artwork formats that generally do not incur additional art preparation fees would include:

Adobe Illustrator files as .ai in CS2 or older version, with fonts converted to outlines.
Native .eps vector files, with fonts converted to outlines. Native files are created and saved in a vector art program like Corel or Illustrator. Bitmap images that are imported into graphics programs and “saved as” an .eps file are not true .eps files.
PDF files, fonts must be in outline format.
.psd files prepared in Photoshop CS2 or earlier version are usable if the resolution is 200 to 300 dpi at final print size, with fonts rasterized, and the art in layers. Please do not include empty layers. Complex art files may be huge and should be sent on a CD if larger than 10mb.
Other usable formats; .tif, jpg, or even .png & .gif files if they are 200 to 300dpi at the final printed size. The native file resolution is critical. Images downloaded off a web are 72dpi or less and will require complete redrawing to be screen printable.
Unless a Publisher file is exported as a .pdf or .jpg we do not use it.
Word .doc files are not camera ready art. Word and Excel files are useful for names, sizes, sponsors, etc. Please list in this order; size (youth or adult), then the number (if any) and then the name. Any information that will not be printed should be removed.

Ok, so what if you have a piece of high quality art, a good idea, or even a stick man drawing that isn\'t in one of the above formats? We have set up jobs from existing printed t-shirts, plaques, photos, and even tattoos. Just call us to discuss options for your printing needs. We do reserve the right to refuse service due to content without explanation.

We cannot reproduce or print any copyrighted image without written permission from the legal copyright holder. It is not legal to just change an existing image a little bit. Federal copyright law makes no such allowance. For national corporations and franchises proper legal written permission typically can only be issued from the head corporate office or legal department.

Original art from customers brought or mailed in will be returned with an order, or mailed at the customers expense. While every precaution is taken to protect art sent or brought in to us, we can accept no responsibility for claims of damage to customers art.

All other art will incur a $40 hourly preparation fee with a minimum charge of $15.00. Your art is painstakingly re-designed for in-house use to give you the best product possible. No art services are provided without financial commitment. All art files, digital renderings, films, screens, etc. are the sole property of GAME TIME GRAPHICS, INC., and all rights are reserved under copyright law.

This very short and to the point tutorial will hopefully make this a little more easily understood by most customers outside the graphic design field, and some of them in it as well.

We have selected a tiny section of the helmet to provide this visual demonstration of the difference between raster and vector files. And a short description of both.

RASTER

First off a raster file is usually not easily enlarged more than 10 - 20%. If you keep zooming in on the image and it becomes jagged and or blurred, then you have a raster image file. The most common filetypes of raster images are: .JPG, .BMP, .PNG, .TIFF, .GIF, and .PSD

These type of files general are most difficult to change the layout and look. The hardest to change color and to resize.

VECTOR

As where a vector file is a file that can be zoomed in as far as you possibly can and the edges will stay crisp and clean looking. It can be reduced or enlarged without any loss of quality. The most common filetypes of vector images are: .AI, .EPS, .PS and .CDR

These type of files are also the most common among graphic designers. They are more easily edited and easier to change color than a raster image.

Here are the step in order to convert your fonts/text to outlines/curves in Adobe Illustrator. After completing these steps it is recommended saving this copy with another name so you\'ll have the original to make corrections with.

Step One	Step Two	Step Three

This step will hopefully get all your fonts available for the next step. You have to make sure all your fonts are unlocked and visible in order to convert them to Outline / Curves.	This step just selects everything that is visible and unlocked on the screen.	This step converts all your type ( fonts ) to Outlines / Curves. * Warning * - after doing this step you cannot make corrections in spelling. So after this step save your file as another file name so you have the original to make corrections to.
