How to prepare artwork
Here are a few tips to help you prepare graphic files for us.
- We accept PC files.
- We recommend that you upload your art file(s) to us using the "Send Art File" function on our web page.
- To ensure the highest quality output be sure to save your image at 100 - 150dpi (dots per inch) at the finished size (example file formats include .bmp, .tif, and .jpg)
- If your file is for vinyl output or sign manufacturing, it needs to contain a Vector image of your sign and/or logo. This means your text and graphics are outlined. Some programs offer an option to Save or Export Text as Vectors, Curves, Paths or Outlines. (example Vector file formats include .ai or .eps)
- Convert all fonts to curves or paths to eliminate the need to send the fonts.
- Save photographic images at 100% of the actual size (when possible).
- Include Pantone Colors for your files, or provide a hard copy of the approximate colors desired.
- Website graphics are almost always unusable.
