Ordering our products
is simple, although a little more involved then just putting
items into a virtual shopping cart and checking out. You will
need to do a little preliminary preparing prior to placing
an order. Our ordering system will allow you to upload your
photos,
artwork, logos or anything else you want printed right to your
shopping cart. Everything we sell is custom printed, to-order.
We take a lot of pride in our service & quality of our
prints.
The actual ordering process is to simply navigate to the item
of interest. There is an order form for each product. The order
form will walk you through the process, including the uploading
of your images. Our ordering system will accept files as large
as 6 megs, so you can send full size, high resolution images
right to our shopping cart.
Most Important, Because our ordering system is interactive
and responds to your input, you must have your JavaScript enabled
in your browser. Later versions of Windows XP and Internet
Explorer, by default, will issue a warning when opening a web
page that uses JavaScript, giving you the option to permit
or block the scripts from running. In this case, you must permit
our scripts to run for the ordering process to function properly.
All products carry a volume discount starting as few as 2
like items. We also offer a reseller program for those artist
and photographers out there who wish to sell their work on
our products.
If you have any questions or need some guidance in obtaining
good quality images, please don't hesitate to contact
us.

Follow
these guidelines to help ensure the best print possible.
|
|
| If you are sending photos
from your digital camera, please ensure your camera setting
is "Best" or high resolution.
If you are scanning your photos or artwork, please scan
at no less then 150dpi, 300dpi or greater is best.
If you are sending JPG or JPEG images the file size should
be no less then 100-150K for mugs or other 4 inch print size.
Full coverage shirts or other larger prints your file size
should no less then 400K. Again, the larger the uploaded
file size, the better.
TIF or TIFF format is better then JPG but can result very
large file sizes.
If you are working with Adobe PhotoShop, Adobe Illustrator,
Corel PhotoPaint or Corel Draw, it's best to archive your
work using a "Zip" utility or if you are using
Mac then you can use "StuffIt" and send your archived
work in it's native format.
Adobe PDF or MS Word are not the best choice for sending
your artwork, but we can work with them if necessary. You
will need to archive these before uploading.
If your design uses any text or fonts, it is best to generate
a low resolution JPG that we will use as placement reference
and your high resolution layout without your text. You will
need to provide your font information or actual font file
if you have a specific font you wish to use. Otherwise we
will do a close match to your reference jpg copy. In Corel
Draw or Adobe Illustrator, you can convert your fonts to
curves as an alternative to sending us your font file.

| None of the above steps are absolutely
required, they are just a guide to assist you in preparing for
the best possible prints obtainable. There is a fine line between "Good" and "Best" and
we always strive for "Best". Please, if you have any
questions about preparing your images for print, do not hesitate
to contact us. We are
right here and ready to assist you any way possible. As an alternative,
if you are short on time, you can always send us a general e-mail
from our contact page. |
