Please read all of the guidelines and requirements on this page. Complaints resulting from failure to follow the guidelines outlined in this document will not be accepted.

• Artwork should be sent out/submitted the same day the order has been placed to avoid delays
• After receiving your file, it will reviewed for printing requirements. If the file does not meet all necessary requirements, you will be contacted.
• If corrections are required, you may make these changes yourself and resubmit the file or choose to have us make the corrections (if we are able to do so). Additional costs may be incurred if corrections are required to prepare your file.
• After the file has been approved we will send an electronic (e-mail) proof for your approval. The proof will reflect any changes that have been made. We will proceed with printing only after your approval.
• Delivery lead time starts AFTER electronic proof has been approved

• Files should be created in CMYK color mode. Converting from other modes may distort colors.
• File should be 100-120dpi at full output size.
• Convert all fonts to outlines and/or include all fonts used. If unsure send all fonts used.
• Logos and line based objects should remain in vector format whenever possible
• Do not embed placed files or images
• Do not embed color profiles in placed images or Photoshop files
• Include both a layered file and flat file. This allows us to make minor corrections if necessary.
• Only send files relevant for output.

• Adobe Illustrator CS (or earlier) (.ai or .eps)
• Adobe Photoshop CS (or earlier) (.psd or .tif)
• Unfortunately we are unable to accept other file formats

• Use the links at the top to download design templates
• The design templates incorporate:
  • The live visual area of the graphic. The area you will be able to see once the graphic is installed.
  • The printing bleed of 0.50in. and other required bleeds.
  • Any elements that will be cut out, blocked or excluded.
• Extend all images and/or background colors to the outside edge of the template
• Keep all important graphic elements (images, text, etc.) within the viewable area.
• After printing, the graphic will be trimmed. Please allow space for trimming by not placing type or logos too close to the edge of the viewable area.
  

• File must be at least 100dpi at final full output size
• All images used must be at least 100dpi at final full output size
• Higher resolution images are accepted, but generally do not produce better graphic output. Our printers are optimized for 100-120dpi files
• Do Not use web site images (jpg, jpeg, gif). These images are generally low resolution (72dpi) and are unsatisfactory when enlarged to banner dimensions. For this reason jpeg, jpg and gif files are not accepted.
• When using stock photography images, be sure to purchase the highest resolution version that your budget will allow.
• Logos and other line or text-based objects should be in vector format, not rasterized.

• We use CMYK printers to create these graphics. Because of this, 100% reproduction of defined colors is not possible.
• When colors are critical:
  • Send two (2) color correct hard copy proof with critical colors indicated
  • Indicate CMYK values and Pantone values, if applicable, for critical colors on the hard copy and in the file
  • Layered file must be included
  • When this is provided we will try our best to match required colors. Again, because we use CMYK printers to create these graphics 100% reproduction of defined colors is not possible.
  • Without all of the above information, color deviations as a reason for complaints will not be accepted
• Note: Variations in color or shading are often a result of viewing on un-calibrated equipment (monitors, printers, etc.).

• Please write your order number (OE) on the disk and envelope
• We accept the following media:
  • CD-R (No CD-RWs)
  • DVD
  • ZIP (100, 250 and 750 only)
• Do not send CDs or DVDs without a case or sleeve
