We currently accept the following versions of native files:

File Formats: For quality printing, please provide vector art and/or rasterized art which is 300 dpi in the following formats:
.eps
.pdf
.jpg (hi resolution)

If you only use Microsoft products (word, powerpoint) please be aware that they often contain hidden commands and are not as production print friendly as Adobe products. So, expect some extra time, cost and occasional surprises which you can help minimize by also sending us a high res print PDF and or a screen capture to guide us.
Are you SURE you've got High Resolution Files?
