us know what kind of clip art you want on your masthead, color scheme
of your newsletter, quantity and payment, and we'll do the rest. From
time order is placed, we will get back to you with a proof-only PDF

What
size should my pictures be?
The best format is 3 X 5 inches, 300 dpi, and saved as a TIF. If you
are sending JPG's and don't know how to format your photos to 300 dpi,
send them AT LEAST as large as 11 x 17 inches and 72 dpi. Don't make
them too big because it could have problems being emailed.
Can
you decide color and logo for me?
Yes, if you are having trouble deciding a clip art logo for your masthead
or color scheme for you newsletter, we can do it for you. You may also
send us your own logo.
Can
you "fix" my pictures (i.e. crop, lighten/darken, etc.)?
We can do simple tasks, such as cropping photos, reducing red eye, and
will do our best to make them printing perfect. However, we cannot perform
miracles (i.e.: take out wrinkles, fix teeth, etc.).
Can
I send you my pictures and will they be returned?
Yes, you can send pictures (as well as text, on CD) to us. We will return
them when we send your newsletters. Just fill out the order form online
and mention that you will be sending your photos to us directly. We
will begin to process your order when we receive the photos.
What
format can my text be in?
Please save you text in as a Microsoft Word file, Rich Text file, or
Adobe PDF. Microsoft Publisher cannot be accepted. Please send all of
your text in one file.
How
much text can I use?
The more photos you use, the less text you can use. Here is a text per
photo ratio:
-
1 photo: approximately
500 words
- 2
photos:
approximately 250 - 300 words per photo
- 3
photos: approximately 100 - 150 words per photo
- 4
photos: approximately 50 - 100 words per photo
- 5

Will
you edit and spell check my text?
The only time we will edit text is if it does not fit. We will perform
minor edits at that time. We will not perform a spell check, so make
sure that everything is spelled correctly before sending text.
What
kind of paper are the newsletters printed on?
The newsletters are printed on a high quality, heavyweight 8.5 x 11
inch glossy paper that is scored for easy folding. Mailing seals are
included with each order, and you can actually send out the newsletters
as is, without a envelope, with your return address and your addressee
printed on the backside of the newsletter. If you prefer, you can still
send your newsletter in a regular, size 10 envelope.
