What data are required in what shape / formats?
To print the artwork we need the graphic files and to make the CD we need the music.
If you design the artwork on your own or you assign someone, please, design all graphics including a pre-cut part of 3mm. The resolution of printing matters must be 300 dpi, the color range should be RGB.
As file format you can use JPG (JPEG) or TIF (TIFF). If you are using JPG please use a maximum picture quality (minimum compression). We do not recommend PDF because PDF means change of color and often a very high compression.
The music can be send on CD as Audio-CD or WAVE-file. If you want to use MP3, remind that encoding and decoding means always a change of the audio material. If you want your music as close as possible tothe original send over WAVE-files.
To send over the artwork and audio files via internet we recommend to use services like www.yousendit.com. Please pack the files before sending with tools like WinZip or WinRAR. So the files will get smaller and when we unpack the files potential file-damages are dedected.
Via e-mail you should send smaller files, only.
