- Can I send a JPEG, Publisher or Word file?
What the JPEG?
We do not except low quality jpeg files because of their general small size and poor resolution quality for print as well as color corruption issues. Jpegs and Giff files are a compressed Raster format mainly used for fast web view on monitors at 72dpi.(dots per inch) They are not high enough quality for good print resolution at actual print size when blown up for a shirt. Print quality is 200-300dpi at actual print size.
Its kind of like giving a gourmet chef a pack of roman noodles and asking him to cook a 5 star meal for a family of 12.If you do not have your file in one of our required Artwork Formats, Please send us what you do have and we can help find a solution that will give your ideas or old logos new life.
