Resolution Requirements

Photoshop or other pixel based digital files must be supplied at a minimum 100 dpi, maximum 150 dpi at the finished print size (300 dpi is overkill for large format digital printers).

Preferred Applications

Preferred application for vector art is .pdf, .ai Adobe Illustrator. For pixel based art, .psd Adobe Photoshop.

Placed Images

Remember to include any images placed or linked to your digital file. Bleeds are not necessary.

Fonts

When submitting print ready art, please "outline" or "convert to paths" all fonts.

Important Color Matching Information

When color matching is important to you, we need something other than your digital file to match to. This means providing us with specific PMS colors or hard copy proof of what your colors should look like.

When sending Photoshop files, if a color match is required, the file must be in layers so we can manipulate a particular color. We cannot match to specific colors in a flattened Photoshop file.

If we have printed a graphic for you in the past and you wish to match color to that specific graphic, because of the sensitive nature and many variables relating to large format digital printing you must send the printed graphic back to us to match to. We cannot guarantee a color match based solely on information embedded in a digital file.
