Unsupported File Formats
We do not support the native file
formats of Illustrator, FreeHand, AutoCAD, InDesign, or
Quark. However, most of these programs provide the option
to save or export in another format such as TIFF, PDF, or
EPS, which we do support.

Not Recommended
For reasons of print quality, we do not recommend
printing JPG, GIF or any file with a resolution under 150
ppi. This would include almost anything taken from the
Internet. Such files usually have a resolution between 72
and 96 ppi, which is an appropriate range for online viewing
but not for printing.
If you still have questions on how to supply
your file for printing, please give us a call. We are happy
to help you!
