» We cannot do colour seperations using Microsoft Word [.DOC] or Powerpoint [.PPT] documents. We may have to re-draw at a cost.
» Keep in mind the desired output size and resolution of artwork. The lower the resolution, i.e. pixels per inch, the rougher the artwork will appear when printed. 300dpi is ideal.

A crisp and clear image ensures the highest quality during production. Jpeg's from the web are low quality as they are meant for screen resolution, not print.
