Q: Can I supply my own design?
A: Yes. Please read our design specs section and download the appropriate templates for your project. All manufacturers have different specs for design. Make sure you supply your art in Official Rom Squared templates only.

Q: If I do my own design, How do I supply the files to you?
A: You can email the files (up to 2 meg) to vickie@romsquared.com or you may find it easier to upload your files to our ftp site. Please read our upload section for more information. You can also supply your art to us on CDR or Zip disc.

Q: Can Rom Squared teach me how to do my design?
A: No. Rom Squared is always happy to answer questions pertaining to our specs and requirements, but our design team is unable to dedicate any time towards teaching others how to design for the compact disc market. The Internet is a great source of information. Tutorials for all the popular design programs can be found on the World Wide Web.

Q: What programs do I need to do my design?
A: The top four programs used by all graphic designers are Adobe PhotoShop, Adobe Illustrator, Quark Xpress and InDesign. Rom Squared highly recommends these programs, as they will give you the professional look you need in today’s competitive market. Other less expensive programs, such as software bundled with a scanner or printer, can give reasonable results. Make sure you read our design specs for details on how to supply your design to us.

Q: What are JPEG's and TIFF's? Which should I use? A: JPEG OR TIFF: JPEG files are recommended for the direct to surface Ink Jet printing. Please use the Rom Squared template for this process. Not for printed materials. What is DPI and why does ROM Squared require 300 dpi images for best results.DPI (Dots Per Inch) is the number of dots that make up an image. The more dots- the sharper the image.
