Send Art Files

Sending Artwork:
The Graphics Department is a Mac based Department capable of receiving art files via email or almost any digital media format. Due to the specialized nature of our setup, it is important that art files be supplied to us in a format that works with us. The following is a preferential guideline for art file transfer.

Which Format Is Right For Us?
Most Graphic Designers use EPS images. Files received in EPS or AI file formats are our preferred MAC formats, these files are generally ready for us to use, allowing us to maintain costs and lead time. 

Files received in Windows (BMP, GIF, JPEG, PCX, TIFF, etc.) file formats are  somewhat ready but they often require modification. 

Files received in CAD (DWG, DXF, IGES, WMF, WPG, etc.) file type extensions are often unusable, only viewable at best, requiring conversion and/or redrawing at increased costs and lead time.

Please include the program and version used along with the operating system (Windows or MAC).
