CorelDraw X6 – Your artwork can be saved in .cdr format or as an .eps file, Corel is very good at importing .eps files from other programs.  Please convert all fonts to curves! 

Other programs – Most graphics programs can export an .eps file, if you use anything other than CorelDraw or Illustrator, please do this!  Please convert typefaces to curves, paths, or outlines before sending artwork.  If your artwork has been created using other programs: (Microsoft Word, Microsoft Works, Power Point, etc.), please contact us to discuss an alternative solution.  We cannot accept Quark Express files.  If the electronic file is unusable for any reason, you will be asked to supply original art or to remedy any problems and resubmit the file, this may delay your orders ship date.
