Austin Screen Graphics Art Requirements:

All "camera ready" art should be clean and on white paper/board or clear film background.
Also we prefer a black and white copy for scans and camera ready work
(a color version is optional). If a good quality original is not available, we can
print from your disk or produce an original in our art department.
Otherwise, any variation is usually more time consuming and may be
considered custom art work (billable time!).

Computer File Access Capability: The art department is capable of converting your computer images into camera-ready art when it is delivered to us on a 100 mb zip cartridge, cd, or a 3.5 floppy disk.
