Question 1 of 5
What file format is your artwork in?
Vector formats work best for single-color printing, but we can work with high-quality raster files too.
Vector Files (AI, EPS, PDF)
Adobe Illustrator, EPS, or PDF with vector elements - ideal for scaling and crisp printing
High-Resolution PDF
PDF generated with vector graphics, print-ready resolution
PNG/JPG, Raster Images of 300dpi or Better
High-resolution raster images suitable for printing, transparent backgrounds for .png files are ideal
Other (Word, PowerPoint, Low-res images)
Files that need significant conversion for print production. Low-resolution images are less than 300dpi, usually created for web-view as opposed to print reproduction.
