SUBMITTING YOUR OWN ARTWORK:
SUBMITTING IDEAS
If you have an idea, sketch or other non-digital artwork for your tshirt order, here are some tips on what will help us get your ideas printed.

IS YOUR IDEA STUCK IN YOUR HEAD?
That's ok. Our designers are experts at picking your brain. When you meet with your marketing representative about your order, you will have any opportunity to speak with an artist. If you're not ready at that time, you can call to make a face-to-face or telephone appointment to discuss your ideas.

DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING ON PAPER?
Well then, you probably fall into one of two categories:
"I'm not an artist!" or "I am an artist!"
FOR THE NON-ARTIST
Don't despair. Our designers have seen it all, from the "3-headed man" to the "I drew this while I was driving through a rainstorm" sketch. Also, clients sometimes bring in clip art they've seen other places saying, "We want something like this, but not really." Either way, our artists can take your idea and "make it look good." We'll talk with you about your idea, determine what you want changed about the images you've brought in, and take it from there.
FOR THE ARTIST
If you have your own drawing you would like to use in your design, there are a few tips that will ensure the best print job:
1. Cartoon-type or outline drawings scan and print best if we receive the outline portion in black ink on white paper without any color fills. Once we scan your art, we can easily change the color to something other than black, or fill in areas with ink colors of your choosing.
2. Pencil drawings do not scan or print well.
3. Color media such as crayon, colored pencil, paint, etc can often scan and print well, depending on the colors used, but will sometimes need to be printed in 4-color process (see WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW).
4. Hand-written letters are not always advisable for screen printing, especially small sizes. We recommend that all small text be re-typeset to ensure that letters don't become unreadable in the printing process.
5. If we feel that a design will not scan and print well, as is, we may need to re-create it by tracing elements, scanning & inserting color digitally. Our designers can usually advise you right away whether this will be necessary. In this case, we make every effort to maintain the integrity of your artwork, while ensuring that it will print well. Of course, we will always ask you to review and approve it before it goes to press.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO USE SOMEONE ELSE'S ARTWORK?
Dux D'Lux can not print copyrighted artwork without permission from the copyright owner. If you would like to use a design, photo, logo or graphic you have seen produced by another company, Dux D'Lux can create something SIMILAR, but will not print the exact artwork. If you don't know the source of the design you've seen, it is still best to use something similar rather than an exact representation. If you would like to use a copyrighted image in your design, Dux will print the design only if you sign a waiver of responsibility for the use of the image.

Dux D'Lux holds a license to use several university, fraternity and sorority names and logos. Any design using these references must be submitted to appropriate licensing boards for approval before printing.
