General Artwork Requirements

1. Black & White
Artwork should be pure black and white, with no colors, shading or shadows. Colors and shading cannot be reproduced with mechanical engravers.

            

2. High Resolution
Artwork should be at least 200 dpi resolution for best results. Lines and edges should be very sharp and clean, not grainy or fuzzy. Note: A low-resolution image might look sharp on your monitor, but will not look good printed or engraved. Be sure that your image is at least 200 dpi -- no matter how it looks on your monitor.
