Getting Your Art to Us.

If you have artwork, send it to us using the uploader on the right. If you need art or a proof give us a call and we'll get it to you.

Art Requirements

• Do not setup bleeds. Unless we specifically ask for them, we will apply bleeds. In most cases the sign frame will cover a portion of the edge.
  
• Keep important info inside safe area. Each sign has a different safe area, we can tell you what that will be, or we can modify the design to work in the sign. Most safe areas are a minimum of 3 inches in on all edges.
  
• Colors need to be CMYK or Pantone matched. Creating a design in RGB gamut will not provide an accurate on screen color representation. All of our printing is done via CMYK.
  
• Convert all fonts to curves. All fonts need to be either converted to curves or included as TrueType, OpenType, or Postscript Type1 fonts.
  
• Higher dpi is better. With raster artwork we want the best quality possible. Small details wont be so small when they are printed. If we need it smaller we can scale it down.
  

Vector Art: The best artwork is vector art. Sharp lines and endless scalability are ideal for signage artwork. When working with vector avoiding gradients makes things much easier. All text must be converted to curves, or fonts that are used in the design must be included. Colors should follow the CMYK Model or pantone matching system, for easy matching.

Raster Art: Raster artwork needs to be to at proper size and 100 dpi for lower quality signs, and 200 dpi for higher quality signs. If the sign is larger than 100 square feet 100 dpi is fine. Most raster art files will be too large to email and should be burned to a disk or uploaded to our server. Raster files should be built in the CMYK color model.
