Below you will find a listing of specifications accepted by Dana Labels, Inc. If you have any questions about how to proceed to submit digital media, please call the number listed on our home page. To produce the best quality output, please adhere to the following specifications.

Thank You.

Although every attempt will be made to accommodate your media, due to circumstances beyond our control (e.g. mechanical failures, system conflicts, corrupted data files), there may be times when we can not access your file(s).

Film being submitted as camera-ready art should be presented as an emulsion-up, negative, 150 lines per inch resolution. (If you need the film returned, please submit as an emulsion-down, negative).

Artwork that is to be silk-screened should be presented as an emulsion-up positive at 65 lines per inch resolution.

Camera-ready artwork should be clean and sharp. Copied and enlarged images do not reproduce well. Original artwork should be presented whenever possible. Optical resolution should be twice that of the final output resolution. (e.g. 300 dots per inch for 150 lines per inch output).

* Please notify us by phone or fax before you utilize this option so we can anticipate the arrival of your files. (Note: If total file size exceeds 1.5 megabytes, we cannot accept the files via e-mail attachment).

Windows / PC-based systems :

Call or e-mail for file compatibility and transfer capability. PC files must be supplied on disk. We cannot accept PC files via e-mail transfer at this time.

Recommendations:

• Include only the images and files needed.
• Include any linked images.
• Use vector graphics for clean linework and edges.
• All images should be sized at 100%.
• Remember to fax or mail a hardcopy of the artwork.
• Leave artwork in native format. (i.e. Do not create art in Illustrator, save as an eps file, then import into Quark Xpress. Leave the art in Illustrator form).

Please be sure to include all fonts and images. Screen Fonts must be accompanied by their Postscript Font. Include native application versions whenever possible. Truetype fonts must be converted to paths (Illustrator, Freehand, CorelDraw). CorelDraw users should export their files as Adobe Illustrator files (convert fonts to curves). Use process colors for 4-color process output and spot colors for spot color output.
