    Files supplied to us should be as close to the final size as possible. Files can always be reduced but enlarging can sometimes pose a problem. When in doubt, contact the art department before sending (info@nothers.com).

    Remember, only send a duplicate of your file and never send the original. Files can become corrupt and you may need to provide a replacement.

    GUIDELINES FOR REPRODUCING A QUALITY LOGO

    1. Size - A logo of exact size or larger than the required size will produce a sharper image. A logo that is smaller than the required size will lose detail and the edges will become ragged when enlarged. A specialty charge will apply.
    2. Halftones cause problems in production. The recommended dot size for silk screening is 65 lines per inch. Half tones are only available in Sublimation and Silk Screening.
    3. Scanning - If the logo needs to be scanned it is recommended that the design be 2 or 3 times larger than the required size. THIS IS NOT CAMERA READY; the logo will have to be re-drawn and the type reset. Type is NOT scanner friendly.
    4. Colour - Pantone numbers are required for colour selection.

    EVERY ORDER INCLUDES ART SETUP OF $35.00 AND TWO ROUNDS OF CHANGES FOR AN ART APPROVAL. ADDITIONAL APPROVALS ARE $5.00 EACH.
