Camera-Ready Art used to be "shot" with a camera onto photographic paper to make a stat or PMT. Now, it is usually a laser print with a resolution of 600 dpi or more.

• It should be black & white line art with no halftones or screens.
• Multi-color imprints need color separations for each color with registration marks and a color composite.
• You can also try letterhead, business cards and printed pieces on flat, smooth surfaces. Please note that these usually need to be touched up to work well, which can cause delays and incur art charges .
• NOT USABLE AS ART: faxes, copies of faxes, and products with curved surfaces.

Digital Artwork - also called electronic art, can be sent on a 3.5" disk, zip disk, CD-ROM and by e-mail. For the best results, create your art as vector art in Adobe Illustrator or CorelDraw (preferred), save as an EPS (encapsulated postscript file). Please convert fonts to curves in CorelDraw and outlines in Adobe Illustrator. ALL SUBMITTED ARTWORK MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A FULL COLOR JPEG COMPOSITE FOR IMAGE CONFIRMATION.

Artwork Standards
In order to give you the highest quality imprint, we have developed some artwork guidelines, which include minimum line weights. All copy should be 9 points or larger. Lines should be no thinner than .5 pt. We will redraw halftones and screens, filling them in or outlining them, and reset copy when necessary. HEC reserves the right to modify your art if it does not meet these quality standards.
