Tips 

• Use Rich Colors: The more color depth and contrast in your artwork, the better your cover will reproduce. Subtle colors may lose some detail in the printing process. Certain solid ink colors, such as navy, black and forest green, do not work well when placed next to each other.

• Use Full-size Images: Images that have been reduced by photocopying or with photo-editing software will not always reproduce well. For best results, always use full-size artwork.

• Use Thick Lines: For best results, be sure that outlines are thick. Thin outlines created with pencil will not reproduce completely. 

• Avoid Metallics: Glitter and metallic foils do not reproduce well when printed. These materials often appear black with little hint of color. Fluorescent inks will not reproduce well and should be avoided. 

• Computer-Generated Art: If you are submitting artwork that has been created on a computer, be sure image resolution is at least 250 dpi and that line art has a resolution of at least 500 dpi.
