Don'ts—
      DO NOT submit inkjet or laser printouts of photos or grayscale graphics from your computer. Submit these
files on disk instead. (Exception: laser prints are preferred for black and white line art.)
      DO NOT submit photos or graphics clipped from newspapers, magazines, greeting cards, stationery, etc.
They will reproduce poorly and may be copyrighted.
      DO NOT submit photocopies of photos or graphics
      DO NOT submit pencil or crayon drawings.
      DO NOT use paper clips, staples or tape on your photos or artwork which can damage your originals.
      DO NOT crop your original photographs. Instead, make a photocopy of the photo, mark the copy how you
would like it to be cropped and submit with the original photograph as a guide.
      DO NOT submit artwork that is disproportionate.

      DO NOT submit low-resolution files on disk. Images from web sites are generally not high enough resolution.

accept TIFF, EPS, PDF or JPEG (300 dpi or higher at the size needed for printing). If you do not see a file
format here that you are able to produce, or you have specific questions about your program, please
contact us.
