- High Resolution .jpg files sometimes work, but most often the resolution is too low for large format printing

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
