Guide
to Full Color Stamping
The big tournament
is just around the corner and you have decided to do some full color
discs and matching t-shirts. Here is some information that should
help you get the best possible results from the process.
Maximum imprint
areas:
| Mini |
2.375" diameter |
| Golf Disc |
5" diameter |
Note:
The image must fit inside an imaginary circle of the stated diameters
for discs. Properly
submitted art can be sized electronically in most cases.
Copyright
Information:
All artwork submitted for reproduction must be original work or
include written authorization from the holder(s) of reproduction
rights. If you have questions regarding the possibility of copyright
infringement it is strongly recommended that you research all available
resources to insure compliance. The Copyright Clearance Center (CCC)
is a not-for-profit organization created at the suggestion of Congress

Note:
Graphics which are determined to be flagrantly violent, vulgar,
or offensive will not be reproduced.
Graphic Formats:
We can work with most file formats. Please call for assistance in design transmission. PC file formats prefered.
MAC Users:
Save in a PC compatible file format with no compression.
Drawings:
If you submit hand drawn illustrations, keep lines and objects
sharp
and well defined. Pen & ink lines usually reproduce better than
pencil drawings that may appear fuzzy after digitizing.
Discs:
Currently only DX plastic versions of the Roc, Aviar, Beast, and TeeBird are available for full
color stamping. All discs are brightest white.
T-shirts:
We usually use jersey quality 100% cotton Gildan® shirts or
equivalent; White or ash gray only.
Delivery
Times:
Please allow 3-4 weeks for delivery after receipt of approved art.
Text:
Additional text may be added to your design
for an additional charge of $1.00 per disc.
Photographic
Images: Choosing images carefully will go a long way to producing
a great looking disc. Keep in mind that good lighting, strong contrast & a
good balance of foreground and background elements will
reproduce best. Photographs should be original artwork with photographer's permission. Internet photographs are copyrighted.
Art Charges & Changes/Corrections
to Files: We can make changes to your files in most cases. Any lengthy changes may be subject to pro-rated design fees. Additional in-house artwork design is billed at $50.00 per hour.
Final Appearance
Note: Remember that the graphics on your computer screen are
backlit. When your artwork is printed onto a disc it is a matte
finish surface that is not as white as normal paper. It is beneficial
to simplify color information (posterization) and to enhance contrast.
