 Need Help? Sign Buyer's Tips Preparing Graphics Files
|
If you are preparing graphic files for us, here are a few tips:
- We accept both Mac® and PC and can work with virtually any software
- We recommend that you upload your art file(s) to us using the “Send A File” function on the centre web page.
- To ensure the highest quality output be sure to save your images at 100 - 150dpi (dots per inch) at the finished size
- Pixels files are .bmp, .tif, .jpg; the preferred format for images is .tif
- If your file is for vinyl output 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.
- Vector files are .ai, .pdf or .eps
- Convert all fonts to curves or paths to avoid possible font substitution.
- Save photographic images at 100% of the actual size (when possible) and at the resolution specified by your SIGNWAVE® centre.
- Include Pantone Colours for your files, or provide a hard copy of the approximate colours desired.
- Website graphics are almost always unusable.
