Thank you for choosing Shadow Graphics for your large format printing needs. Your graphics will be produced in vibrant colors on our 6-color solvent printer. The following information will help you develop your artwork for successful output. If you have a question that has not been addressed in this information sheet, please don’t hesitate to call us at 407-481-8282.
Design Software: Please choose program(s) that are intended for single page design, such as Illustrator and Photoshop. Multi-page layout programs, such as Quark, are inappropriate. Additional fees (by the hour) will be incurred for conversion.
Resolution: The minimum input resolution for our printers is 100 dpi (ppi) @ 100% scale. Keep in mind that if you are working at 1/4 scale, you will need to increase the resolution of your linked files to 400 dpi (ppi).
Linked Files: Be sure to link your image files -- do not embed them. Embedded low resolution FPO’s are OK.
File Formats: Linked files should be provided as .tif, .psb, or high resolution (12) .jpg. Layered .psd images are wise if you anticipate changes. The artwork, including the unmodified template layer, should be saved as .ai or .eps.
Bleed: Provide 1” bleed on all sides.
Fonts: Outline all fonts. If changes are anticipated, please include an .ai that hasn’t been outlined and all (Mac) fonts - Opentype is cross-platform.
Colors: If specific colors need to be matched, be sure to provide the Pantone “C” call-outs. Pantone CV, CVC, or CVU are computer video color references and are not accurate for print. Pantones with transparency will be treated as spot colors. Unrecognized color references or spot colors will be converted to CMYK, and are subject to the interpretation our RIP. Most Pantones are reproducible, but extremely vibrant or florescent colors may be out of the printers’ gamut.
Media: Final artwork should be sent to us on CD or DVD or uploaded to out ftp site. Please include a proof print, and your contact information. We can accept up to 13 MB by email. A hardcopy proof may be necessary for accurate color reproduction.
