Artwork Information

• The graphics you provide (.jpg images) will be stretched to fit. Use the templates below to get the size of each type of graphic, but even if you submit a graphic that has a different dimentsions of height and width or aspect ratio, we will stretch it to fit during the printing process. For the best looking output, you would want to have an image with the same aspect ratio (proportional dimensions).
• Our production system prints the disc, dvd case overwrap, cd case inserts and all graphics using 300 dpi full color with no bleed. No bleed means we print exactly what you provide. There will be a small amount of trim, but if you include white on the outside of your image, we do not crop that off.
• To see what your product will look like, click the view button listed next to your project title in the account area. This feature gives you an approximation of how your images will be printed
• Your monitor has much less resolution than what is printed at 300 DPI (dots per inch). What you see on your computer screen is an approximation. You can try printing your image from your computer to see how it looks printed.
• Avoid placing critical text or graphics near the edges of your graphics. We do not trim very much of your image during production. Assume we may trim about 1 mm on each edge.

Windows Graphics Programs:

• FREE: For simple graphics editing, use Windows Paint. Click Start - All Programs - Accesories and choose "Paint"
• FREE Trial: A little more power - Paint Shop Pro X3.
• PhotoShop: If you have it, use it. If you do not have it, it's probably more than you need.
