Sign Design - File Specs

At Sign Art, we strive to give you the best quality banner displays and signs possible. There are many file formats. Please refer below to see which is the most appropriate for you.

Preferred Program Formats

We work in a Windows PC environment. EPS files are the best formats to give us because that is what we print from. Here is a list of our preferred files and extensions.
All universal file formats (.eps, .tif, .jpg, .pdf)
Adobe Illustrator (CS4 or lower) (.ai)
Adobe Photoshop (CS4 or lower) (.psd)
If you are working with another software application, please call us.

Digital Applications

Here are some points to consider while preparing your sign design files for us.
High-resolution files are ideal (minimum 200 dpi recommended at full output size)
We can accept .tif and .jpg files - but they must be high-resolution images.
Images from web pages are too small and too low of resolution.
Convert all fonts to outlines.
PMS colors must be noted.
Do not convert PMS colors to process.
We prefer images to be embedded in Adobe Illustrator files. If files must be linked in a document, include the images and Illustrator file, all in the same folder.
