ARTWORK GUIDELINES

ACCEPTABLE FILE FORMATS

  • High quality PDF (preferred)
  • Illustrator CC or below
  • Photoshop CC or below

High quality, editable PDF, Illustrator and Photoshop files are preferred, as they are more suitable for large format printing. 

>>>FONT SPECIFICATIONS

Fonts must be converted to outlines. 

>>>COLOR SPECIFICATIONS

Please provide all files in CMYK format for the most accurate 
color output.

If Pantone colors need to be matched please specify on purchase order. All critical Pantone colors need to be called out in the file as solid coated swatches. If multiple Pantone swatches are used in the file, all will be matched to solid coated unless otherwise specified.  

If color matching to existing graphics, we will need those back to review. Please contact your sales representative for a case number.

Please provide a layered file for Photoshop files if color matching is required. 

We guarantee color matching on all hard copy proofs, specified Pantone colors and client-supplied hard copy proofs. Orders without indication of Pantone colors, supplied proofs or requested hard copy proofs are NOT guaranteed for color.

All raster files (either print files or linked files) must be at 72 - 125DPI at 100%.
