Recommended File Types
Vector based files – .ai, .eps, .pdf
Raster based files - .tif, .eps, .psd, .jpg

* Vector files such as .ai, .eps, .pdf can sometimes contain embedded raster files. Please check before submission.

File Resolution
We suggest a resolution of 100-150 dpi at 100% file size or 200-300 dpi at 50% file size on all raster based designs.

Vector based files can be reduced or enlarged to almost any size without losing quality; resolution is irrelevant. Artwork must be vectored for vinyl cut or router cut letters and/or shapes.

Text Submission
If you are submitting files that contain text please make sure that the text is outlined (vector formats) or flattened (raster formats) before submission.

Acceptable Media or File Transfer

  • CD ROM or DVD
  • Email (files under 10mb)
  • Online FTP (file upload)

We recommend that all files, regardless of size, be compressed with a program such as WinZip or Stuffit prior to Email or Upload.

Helpful Tips

  • For best results when printing solid black use C=75% M=75% Y=75% K=100%
  • JPEG files must be saved with maximum quality setting checked.
  • Leave at least 2.5” (at final print size) around the edge of printed banners for hem and grommet.
