Business Expansion

It's easier than you think

There are two ways to grow your business: acquire new customers or sell more to your existing customers. Although a successful imprinting business must do both, it is nearly always easier to sell more to your existing customer base than to acquire new customers. If you position yourself as a graphics company and develop positive relationships with your customers, they will look to you for all of their graphics needs. By migrating into new production processes, you can capitalize on this demand and grow your business profitably. Many of our customers in small rural communities have migrated to new production processes out of necessity and quickly discovered that they could produce high profit-margin vinyl signs, banners and vehicle graphics with the same system. At Digital Art Solutions, we call this “cross-over”. The possibilities are endless.

Art Creation

CorelDRAW has over an 80% market share in the screen-printing industry. While Adobe was focusing on desktop publishers and graphic designers, the Corel Corporation was focusing on the imprinting industries. By listening to feedback from people in your industry Corel has developed the best feature set for the imprinting industry. With the best tools for importing artwork, manipulating text and clip art, and creating spot color separations, CorelDRAW has evolved into the industry's premier art production platform.

Industry Automation

Unfortunately, CorelDRAW, like other illustration or sign programs, is a complicated professional graphics program. Without formal graphics training, most new CorelDRAW users typically struggle to develop a basic proficiency in the program. Our Smart Designer X3 makes it possible for anyone, regardless of skill level, to produce high quality custom graphics in an efficient manner. If you are new to CorelDRAW, you can immediately be successful with our system. If you are an advanced user of CorelDRAW, you can dramatically reduce both your production and design time. More Info

Art Preparation / Vectorizing

Scanning and cleaning up artwork and logos is a necessary part of graphics production. Any scanned logo is a bitmap composed of thousands of pixels that is not easy to edit and distorts when resized. For this reason, you must convert your scanned bitmaps into production-ready vectored line art. Our SmartVector Pro Color Vectorization module will produce a clean and accurate trace from a scan or bitmap. The software will also separate each color in the original into separate grouped color layers, making the vectored image easy to color separate. More Info

Artwork / Designs

Before founding DAS, we owned the largest screen printing business in the state of Arizona. We had over 20 full-time production artists producing custom retail programs for the nation's largest retailers. We took the best images from our giant library of custom graphics and turned it into “production-ready” digital art. This collection is not the ordinary “million images for $50” desktop publishing clip art, but rather custom illustrations with 5 to 30 production hours invested in each graphic. You simply cannot buy desktop publishing clip art with this kind of quality and attention to detail. More Info
