Artwork

When Infinity Stamps receives artwork, it is evaluated and, if necessary, changes are recommended. Artwork in raster (picture) format (such as .jpg) must be re-created in a vector format for the production of any stamp. If the customer chooses to use the ISI Graphic Design department, an ISI designer will make the necessary changes. The modified artwork will then be forwarded to the customer for approval.

The raster (picture) formats ISI prefers are: :
.jpg
.psd
.tif
.gif
.bmp
.wmf

ISI is able to open most graphic file formats.

Artwork Submission Tips

The following illustrations have been created to assist with artwork preparation.
These tips are intended for graphic designers or the customer who has some graphic design experience .

Raster files such as .JPG, .TIF, .GIF, .BMP & .PSD should be of the highest quality possible.
Vector files should be free of any raster images. A useful way of spotting raster art is to zoom in close and see if it becomes pixilated. (See example below)
Saving a file as a vector format such as EPS, AI or FH11, does not guarantee that the image will be in true vector format. If the document contains raster images, they need to be vectorized. An easy way to determine this is to preview the document in "outline" or "keyline" mode. In this mode, every outline will be a pathway for the engraving program.
