Q1: How can I send an art image or design?
Answer: Sunshine can accept just about everything from a computer generated
image, to a fax of a doodle on a bar napkin. All we really need is a
relatively clear image with the colour separations. If we are not sure we
understand what the image is we will call or provide an art proof for you to
verify the image with us. We have a state of the art Art Department that
will be able to handle what you need us to do.
Q2: What computer generated image formats can you read?
Answer: We can read all of the following formats: tif, gif, pcx, jpg, cdr,
cpt, ai, eps, pdf, wmf, pct or pict, bmp. These are the most common formats,
but if you have a format not listed here send it anyway we are pretty good
at this. Our favorite is the jpg format. It is generic and can be
saved/exported by just about every piece of software available. If you can't send
a jpg and are sending a graphic with the font active, please change the text
to curves. Otherwise if our system does not have the font (we don't own
every one of them out there) it will substitute a closest match. We can fix
this, but it is much easier with the text as curves.

Q3: Can you print in colour?
Answer: Absolutely, we want to be able to see your art in all of its natural
beauty. If you have a lot of dark on dark colours, please make sure you
give us enough information to tell where the colour breaks are. Sometimes a
dark blue image on a black background is hard to see, even if it is printed
in colour.
Q4: What is the best way to send an art design to you?
Answer: That's easy, how would you like to send it? You can fax it to us
toll free (800-390-2246), courier it to us, mail it to us, email it to us,
or register for a Sun Spot and simply save the design to your own secure
online site. What ever is the easiest for you suits us just fine.

Q5: What is a Sun Spot?
Answer: A Sun Spot is the fastest and easiest way to send an art design,
request a quote, send an order, and receive your completed designs. It is
secured with a username and a password for complete confidentiality. In your
Sun Spot is an online order form containing all your current information.
You will only have to enter your company name, address, phone numbers, email
address, design format preference, etc. once. All you need to do is fill in
the information for the current order. There is a Spot to save your art
design, and a Spot to download your completed digitized design. You will
find this extremely fast. Even faster than email.
Q6: Do I need a Sun Spot to request estimates or send an order?
Answer: No, you will still be able to use our efficient online order form.
All you will need to do is fill out the online form. You can still upload
the design to a secure site or email it if you want. Everyone is welcome.

minutes of receipt of the design.

Answer: Designs are shipped via overnight courier, modem, E-mail, FTP,
Bulletin Board Service, or on your own Sun Spot.

application in pdf format.

Reader installed. This software is likely already on your computer, but if
it is not, it may be downloaded here.

Q15: Where do I download a file to?
Answer: The best way to handle downloading files is to create a directory
specifically for designs. Call it something you will remember and identify
easily, like "sew files". If you are unfamiliar with your system put it on
the root directory (c:\), this way you will not have to go to a subdirectory
to find it if you forget. If you are familiar with your system make a new
folder on the desktop of your Windows and call it "sew files". The
important thing is make it easy, so you can find it with other software. If
this seems complicated (and it can be), save the file to a diskette (usually
your a: drive). Make sure to label the diskette so you don't lose that
either.
