Camera Ready Artwork - What is Acceptable Camera ready artwork can be a very confusing issue. Questions arise as to what is considered camera ready artwork. Transfers have to be printed from a screen and then they have to survive the heat application process. Many customers utilize computer software art packages to develop their camera ready art. However, many times the shading and small lines attained on a paper cannot be converted to transfers to release properly. Camera ready artwork is a high contrast black and white PMT, bank cut rubylith or amberlith, or a film positive or negative containing no gray or fuzzy areas and having sharp, precisely defined edges. If the design has multiple colors, each color needs to be represented on a separate overlay. Camera ready artwork must be flat and in proper proportion. Minimum size of art should be 2" x 2" and maximum of 13" x 15". Images that are transmitted by fax are not camera ready. Neither are business cards, yellow page ads or cloth patches. Camera ready art should represent an image exactly how the customer wants it to look; it should not need any modifications. Other rules and guidelines to keep in mind: Camera Ready Art: To qualify as true camera ready art, the following criteria must be met: 1. Sharp, black image on white paper. 2. All graphics and typesetting must be on a single sheet for each color. 3. Totally clean (no spots, stains, pinholes) 4. Must be suitable for photographic reproduction. 5. One sheet of camera ready art per color. 6. Art work for each color must be separated on one sheet per color and must be butt registered (colors cannot overlap) 7. Submitted Camera Ready Art can be increased no more than 200% or decreased no more than 50%. 8. Maximum size of submitted art: 14"x 14". 9. Minimum size of submitted art: 1"x 1". 10. Minimum line width recommended: 1 point. 11. Criteria for art containing dot screens: A. Maximum dot screen: 30 LPI (lines per inch). B. Range of dot density allowed: 15-35% 12. Remember when we use your camera ready art - what you send is what we produce. 13. Faxed art is very seldom acceptable. If your art does not meet these requirements, it will not be considered Camera Ready.
