Guidelines for supplied artwork :
• All files must be in the following programs: EPS files from Photoshop, Illustrator and
Photoshop and Illustrator will produce the best resolution and clarity. Artwork can also be saved as .tif, .jpg or .bmp.
• Include a color printout of your artwork with your disk.
• ALL files that are used are PC compatible. In Illustrator you may convert text to outlines. Setting type, except for effected, large point-size type, in Photoshop or any other image-editing program is strongly discouraged. Much better results in terms of type legibility and sharpness will be achieved if setting type in an application that supports vector art editing, like Illustrator, Quark or Freehand.
• On artwork created in PhotoShop or Illustrator DO NOT FLATTEN THE ARTWORK – in case we need to adjust the file to fit the templates. Link rather than place your images if your application permits it. This reduces the overall file size and allows for easier checking or modification of an associated image file.
• Artwork resolution must be at least 300 dpi. Make sure color artwork must be submitted in CMYK color format and not RGB.
• ¼ inch bleeds are required for all CD, DVD, VHS sleeves-mailers and inserts. Bleeds are not allowed for CD/DVD silk screen.

Guidelines for CD/DVD Silk Screen Printing:
• Unless a white flood plate is specified, the standard background color for pressed DISC'S is the silver of the disc.
• Bleeds are not allowed for CD/DVD silk screen.
• Use only Emedia templates. Templates will vary from vendor to vendor.
• CMYK colors may appear somewhat darker and more saturated when printed on the plastic substrate of the disc. For more precise color matching, use Pantone Spot Colors when printing 1-3 colors.
• Please use a Pantone Spot Color Swatch Book as your reference and not a computer monitor or rendered CMYK proof.
• Any small type should print as a solid spot color or 100% of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow or Black, if printing with CMYK colors. If the type knocks out from an underlying spot color, type less than 6 points is not allowed; 7 points if the knock out is in CMYK art.
• Avoid placing critical type or art closer than 1/8th from the inner or outer edges of the faceplate.
• Type or art that follows the shape of the disc may not appear perfectly placed unless centered exactly.
• Do not use tone of less than 15% or more than 85%. Tone beyond those limits will likely break up or not be visible, or go to the solid for the specified color, respectively. Registration marks must appear on your film and each color must be clearly marked. Remove all guides and comments that you don’t wish to be printed on the finished product before submitting your art.
