Once you have successfully uploaded your logo and placed your order on Checksforless.com, it will be saved indefinitely for future orders. (Return to Top)

What are the different logo formats you accept?
We accept common "bitmap" formats - EPS, TIF, JPG, GIF, PSD, BMP, and PNG. We do not recommend using logos in MS Word/Excel/Power Point or Web site images; they are usually low resolution images (less than 300 dpi) for monitor viewing only. These images are not designed for printing. (Return to Top)

What is a bitmap image?
Bitmap images are made up of dots or pixels of color in a grid. All these tiny dots of color come together to form the images you see. Bitmap images are resolution dependant. Resolution refers to the number of pixels in an image and is usually stated in dpi (dots per inch). The typical computer monitor has 72 or 96 pixels per inch, depending on your monitor and screen settings. (Return to Top)

What does dots per inch (DPI) mean?
DPI stands for dots per inch, or the number of dots of ink that fill a linear inch of surface. DPI is used to measure printing resolution -- the higher the dots per inch, the better the resolution and the better the image quality. For example, if an image has a resolution of 300dpi, it means that a square inch of solid color will be filled with about 90,000 (300X300) dots of ink. (Return to Top)

What is the acceptable logo resolution, color and size?
Logo resolution should be at least 600 dots per inch (dpi) or 600 X 600 pixels. The height of the image, in relation to the dpi, should be at least one inch. This will ensure that your image will not lose printing quality if it is scaled to fit the product you have ordered. If the resolution of your logo does not meet these requirements, it may print poorly. If you use a bitmap image, make sure it at least 600 X 600 pixels.

Logo file size acceptable by Checksforless.com is a maximum of 4 megabytes.

Logo color must be black and white, unless you are having a color logo printed. Grayscale or color logos may produce unpredictable results when converted to one color for printing. To convert a grayscale or color logo to black and white, please consult the help files of your graphic design software, or contact your graphic artist for assistance. (Return to Top)

How do I know my logo meets your resolution requirements?
This can be done in three steps:

  1. Note the pixel height and width dimensions of your image. Your graphics design software can help you determine this. (For example: Your image has pixel dimensions of 900 x 1,200 pixels.)
  2. Divide the height and width by 600 (For example: After dividing the 900 X 1,200 dimension above by 600 the result is 1.5" x 2".)
  3. Compare dimension as arrived at in step 2 with 1.5" x 1.5". If your image dimensions as calculated are 1.5" x 1.5" or larger, your image is good for producing best quality printing, as it exceeds the minimum height of one inch.

Can Checksforless.com reduce or enlarge the size of my logo?
Logo files cannot be enlarged successfully unless they are of very high resolution (600 dpi or more).

Checksforless.com will size your image according to the space available on the item you are purchasing. We do not differentiate between the logo and the white space surrounding it. If your logo appears too small, you could have too much white space around your logo image. If you think this may be the problem, we suggest that you crop your image very close to the edges of the logo and upload it again. (Return to Top)

Can Checksforless.com print my color logo?
Yes. Standard ink colors are available in Black, Blue, Green, Burgundy, Red, Purple, Gray, Yellow and Tan.

We offer two different printing options:

  1. All Black
  2. Multi-color printing using any combination of standard ink colors. For Example: Purple and Green logo and Black text or Black logo and Purple text.
Please contact us for a color logo custom quote. (Return to Top)

What is the cost of a colored logo?
Each logo is different in size, complexity source file, number of colors, etc. Therefore, we work directly with each customer to determine a printing price for colored logos. Please contact our customer service department at 800.245.5775, send EiPrinting an email or chat with us to get a quote for your custom color logo. (Return to Top)

What do I do if I have multiple images or text in my logo graphic file?
To eliminate the possibility of printing your order with the wrong logo, we cannot process files where multiple images or layers are contained within a single file. Please revise your file using your graphics design software so that only one high-resolution image is included. (Return to Top)

While Checksforless.com is waiting for my logo, can the rest of my order be processed?
We cannot release your Order to Production until the entire order is complete, including receipt of your logo. To ensure that you receive all your products as quickly as possible, please forward us your logo as quickly as you can. (Return to Top)
