FAQ:

Can I Create Artwork Using Microsoft Office Programs?
Microsoft Word, Excel, Works, Publisher and Power Point are not vector based graphics programs meaning that artwork created in these programs can not be used for screen printing. The files can be used as a point of reference but more than likely the artwork will need to be recreated with possible art charges.

Are Web-Base Images Acceptable?
Web-based images such as JPEG, GIF, TIF and BMP are not acceptable formats. They can be used as a reference but will more than like incur art charges in order for the artwork to be recreated.

Can We Submit Hand-Drawn Artwork?
Hand drawn artwork is acceptable as long as it is black and white, using a black felt tip pen (not a ballpoint pen or pencil). Any traces of pencil marks need to be completely erased before submitting. Artwork should not be any larger than 8.5” X 11”.
