Print Shop or Print Master files
We
cannot use any of these program files. Therefore simply
printout your graphics on a letter size paper and follow
the instructions for Supplying
your art on paper.
PhotoShop or Corel Photo-Paint
These
are bitmap programs which are very complex and difficult
to use. Art work created in these programs is seldom
useful for printing t-shirts. They are fine programs
for creating graphics for process color printing, manipulating
and re-touching photographs, creating dazzling effects
for internet web sites or for sending graphic files
over e-mail and they are just plain out of this world
when it comes to impressing your friends and spouse.
However
for multi-color screen printing, spot-color separations
are required. Since these bit map programs do not output
spot color separations easily, files created in these
bit map programs are useless.
However,
there is an exception; Art created for a single color
printing may be submitted in a bit map form, only if:
1)
It is 300 dpi or higher at final print size
2) It is submitted in Black & White format
(even
if the final print color is red or something else)
3) The art will be printed in only 1 color
4) The art is sent to us in JPG, BMP or TIFF format.
Placing your order:
To place an order, fax us the completed order
form along with a Black & White printout of
the art work. Then e-mail your art file to Sales2003@southhorizon.com.

24 hours with a confirmation and an assigned order number.
