FAQs

How do I change or cancel an order?

As our web site stated three times prior to checkout, orders  cannot be changed once you have checked out.  Your only option if you want to make a change is to call Customer Service at 800-921-1322 and have them cancel the order (assuming it has not printed...if it has been printed you are responsible for the cost of the merchandise printed.)  Once the order has been canceled, you can go back onto our web site and re-enter your order with the changes.  There is a $10.00 order cancelation fee to cover processing on all canceled orders whether you reorder or not.

My image looks fuzzy or out of focus.

That's because of one of two things:

1.  You uploaded a low resolution image probably copied from the internet or you uploaded an image that was scanned.  Quality print requires the original graphic file of the image...copied images from the internet nor scanned images with produce a quality print job.

 

2.  You took a small graphic image and tried to make it larger...and it became pixilated.  You cannot take small images and make them larger without losing clarity.

We have prepared the following guide to assist you with your electronic file preparation and submission. If you have a specific problem that is not covered in this guide, or have other questions, please feel free to contact us. Improperly prepared files can cause delays in manufacturing.

 

Copy and Pasting Images from the Internet

Do not copy and paste images from the internet. Internet images are low resolution and are not suitable for quality printing. You will need to upload the original graphic file in an acceptable file format listed below.

 

Acceptable File Formats

 

High Resolution PDF (*.pdf) (Recommended)

Adobe Illustrator (*.ai) (Recommended)

JPEG Image (*.jpg, *.jpeg) (Recommended)

GIF Image (*.gif)

PNG Image (*.png)

EPS Image (*.eps)

PSD Image (*.psd)

 

Unacceptable Formats

 

Microsoft Programs...Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Publisher. You will need to convert your document to a High Resolution PDF if you have designed your product in one of these programs.  Here's How

 

All other file extensions will need to be converted to one of the Acceptable Files Formats listed above .

 

Page Setup

 

When setting up your page, set up the page in the exact size of the product you wish to order. Here's How.  Leave a 1/4" margin on all sides...do not place text or images in the 1/4" margin. The exception to this page set up is if you have a bleed. See Bleeds below.

 

Bleeds

 

A product you design that has a bleed must be formatted to the size of the product you are ordering...plus you would add 1/8" on all sides to accommodate the bleed.

 

Resolution

 

All documents should be prepared in at least 300 dpi of the final print size. Higher resolution files will produce a more detailed image.

 

Color Settings

 

Create your document in CMYK mode so that the colors that you see on the screen most closely match the final printed product.
