What we can do for you:
Our Graphic Design department can create your design for you. We can do anything from recreating a simple logo to creating a multi-colored design for an event. Check out our portfolio for some of our work. Art charges vary for these kind of designs. We will email you the final art in the form of a PDF file for approval before the printing begins. There are art charges for us to create or modify artwork. Please contact us for our rates.

How to submit file formats:
In order to minimize or avoid art charges please email or supply files in a vectorized format.
The best file to send, depending on the art that is to be printed, is an Adobe Illustrator file (Please read the requirement list below). Do not send font files. Also send us a pdf version with all fonts converted to outlines in case there are any problems with the Illustrator file. Supplying a color picture or jpeg, in addition, will also allow us to double check the art so that no mistakes are made in case the vectorized file is corrupted during transmission. Please email any art questions to rpsscreen@yahoo.com.

IF YOU ARE SENDING AN ILLUSTRATOR FILE:
1::Convert all fonts to outlines (TYPE > CREATE OUTLINES),
2::Turn off all Overprint Strokes / Fills (in the Attributes box),
3::Email an EPS version AND a PDF file saved in Illustrator CS2 or lower,
4::DO NOT apply filters, effects, transparency, or gradient meshes in Illustrator,
5::Use spot colors in all objects instead of CMYK,
6::If PANTONE colors are to be used, leave a note on the image of which ones to use (charges do apply),
7::Attach/Email the linked images if there are any,
8::State the printed size, otherwise it will be left to our interpretation,
9::Double check the files before sending them!!

If the art to be printed is a photographic color image, then please supply the art as it was originally produced (Please read the requirement list below). Do not compress the file. Do not save it as a jpeg as this will downgrade the quality of the art. Usually there are art charges for this kind of work that can not be avoided. It is always best to show us the art so that we can supply a quote before the order is placed.
You can email us a low resolution jpeg only for the quote, but we ask that you send a high quality image, with the requirements below, to be used for the actual shirt.

IF YOU ARE SENDING A PHOTOSHOP / JPEG / TIFF FILE:
1::Send us the original file as is,
2::Keep layers unflattened,
3::The Dots Per Inch should be at least 300dpi at the printed size, usually within a 12" by 12" square,
4::Only send a JPEG file as a last resort (see paragraphs that follow),
5::Create the art in RGB mode,
6::Attach a JPEG file for viewing purposes only,
7::Send us a printout of the final art,
8::Double check the printout and JPEG files!!

Art Size Specs:
We can print within a 14" x 17" tall area. We recommend for a full front print to stay within a 12" x 12" tall. Left chest should be no larger than 4"x 4". Bigger sizes can be printed, but will tend to look too big. Back imprints should be no larger than 12" x 14" tall. This is all dependent upon the size of the shirts being printed. Art for youth tees (youth medium and smaller) should be kept within a 9" x 9" square.

Film positives:
Film positives are always welcomed. Make sure emulsion is up. Output the halftones at 50 lines per inch and as ellipse. Angle should be 23 degrees. If you are supplying CMYK process films please contact our art department first. CMYK films have their own output settings.

Fonts available:
For simple lettering designs, you can choose from the fonts link below. Art charges apply.
