Attention Adobe Illustrator users! The Dalco CSR's receive daily a number of customer designs in the Illustrator (.AI / .EPS) format. We have run into a few problems in conversions, fonts, etc. on some of the designs. Dalco needs you to follow these guidelines to allow faster processing of your orders: 1) We accept Illustrator formats from versions 6 - 12 only. 2) Use "Create Outlines" on all designs that include text. 3) We accept one design on 8½" x 11", 8½" x 14", and 11 x 17 paper sizes only. Do not send more than one design per paper size or you will incur artwork charges to separate your artwork. For example, if you have a design that requires a foreground and a background, Dalco considers that two separate design files as we have to process and cut each design separately. This is especially important when using "strokes" on your design. 4) Make sure you separate your colors using Illustrator's "Layers".
