Art Requirements

At Universal we take great pride in producing the best quality screen printing in the industry. A major reason why we can produce such high quality screen printing lies in our proprietary screen printing process. This process starts from the moment we receive artwork from our client or their design firm.

If the artwork is received in the proper format, we can turn the production proof around faster for sign-off with less chance for error. Thus, we would ask anyone submitting artwork to UPI to use the following specs:

Acceptable Artwork

Digital format that we prefer to work is:

• AI (Adobe Illustrator) CS5 or earlier, vector (line) art.

Fonts can be converted to outlines, or sent in as active text with a font folder.

We accept vector art in the following programs: Adobe Illustrator CS5 (.ai or .eps file) and be sure to include any linked images.

Please include a supplementary PDF, JPG and/or paper label of the art so that the designers can compare the eps files to the PDF. This is to ensure there have been no problems opening the files.
