Wide Format Digital Printing - File Prep Info

Acceptable artwork file types:

• CorelDRAW (.cdr or .cpt)
• Adobe Illustrator (.ai or .eps)
• Adobe Photoshop (.psd or .tif)
• Adobe Acrobat (.pdf)
• Adobe InDesign (.indd)
• High Resolution .jpg files sometimes work, but most often the resolution is too low for large format printing
• Other files types (Powerpoint, Publisher, Word, Excel) require additional setup charges

File Preparation

• Please convert all fonts to outlines, paths or curves and include all linked images
• Flatten all layers
• For best color create in RGB - CYMK colors work just fine but often do not look as vibrant
• If possible include a match print showing how you see the color
