Artwork:

The Art Department prefers to receive digital artwork via email in MAC or PC-formatted EPS files created in Adobe illustrator (version 11/cs or lower). For the best image output, VECTOR ART IS ALWAYS PREFERRED. Any artwork specifying PMS colors must be sent as vector art, no exceptions. All text must be outlined or converted to curves and any placed images must be linked when saved. An additional fee of $38(v) per hour will be applied for changes we have to make to the artwork. Changes include slight recreations, clean up and copy changes. Copy changes are $25(v) each. The Art Department can typeset straight-line copy with readily available fonts but requires a  charge of $10(v).

Other Acceptable Artwork:

Camera-ready art is also accepted and should be printed with black ink on white photographic paper at 200% of the final imprint size. If camera-ready is multi-colored, colors must be clearly stated and color separated with registrations marks. JPEG and TIFF files cannot be manipulated or changed and the art department cannot reverse or convert colors. Scanned images must be scanned at 600 dpi at 200% of the hard copy.

Emailing Art Files:

All art files should be sent to: art@californialine.com with the PO number in the subject line. Please include customer name, phone number and contact information in the body of the e-mail. In addition, please indicate on the PO that the artwork has been sent via e-mail. The art department is not responsible for poor quality or unreadable artwork. Artwork delays will affect production and delivery schedule.

Artwork Approvals:

It is of the utmost importance to approve paper and product proofs as soon as possible in order to meet delivery dates. If approvals are delayed, rush charges and/or expedited freight may be required at the customer's expense to meet a specified delivery date.  Requests for paper proofs must be in writing on the PO or factory will produce the order per artwork sent using standard guidelines. Paper proofs must be approved within 24 hours of receipt in order to hold production schedule and inventory, except for rush orders. All orders requiring typesetting require a paper proof.
