Welcome to Newton Manufacturing Company's Digital Art Submission web page. This site is for Newton representatives, clients, and clients' artists. Listed below are helpful guidelines to quickly and easily submit your digital artwork.

Digital Art Guidelines

Specs for Submitting & Archiving Digital Artwork

Our specs help you sail through the harried world of digital artwork. Below is your map to submitting accepted file formats.

Vector Art: Any file created in Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw must be saved in an .eps format with all fonts converted to curves or outlines. Any colors used in the image must be specified as either spot (Pantone/PMS) or by a CMYK breakdown, based on the job requirements. Vector art should contain no placed images.

Four-Color Process: Files supplied for four color process reproduction (CMYK) must be a minimum resolution of 300 dpi at 100% of the requested size. The file must be submitted in a CMYK format and saved in either a .tif, .eps, or uncompressed .jpg format. Raw scans and images from a digital camera are RGB and must be converted to CMYK before submitting.

Please note when creating artwork, tints of colors (20% black to represent gray) will not reproduce on some types of products.

Please save all files with the appropriate three digit extension (.eps, .tif), and if using a vector-based application (Corel, Illustrator), a PC-format preview (.tif) as many of our vendors accept PC and Macintosh formatted files.

Preferred File Formats: .EPS (for vector), .TIF, .BMP, .JPG (for four color process)

Note: After submitting artwork electronically, please fax or mail a hard copy of the artwork with the order.

Helpful Hints To Assure Digital Files Work

• Use the recommended formats listed above. These formats assure that factories with limited digital art capabilities can use the digital art provided and that Newton can archive for use on subsequent orders.
• Microsoft Office programs such as PowerPoint, Word or Publisher are not considered true graphic programs.
• Avoid using low resolution jpg or bitmap files.
• Digital art created in QuarkXPress, Pagemaker and other “layout” programs cannot be archived because they incorporate multiple files. We recommend using the following file formats: .eps, .tif, .bmp, .jpg.
• Graphic Files originally created for Internet use cannot be used effectively for product decoration.

Please don’t hesitate to call your Newton Representative to answer questions or to provide additional information.
