Preferred File Formats & Size
Regardless of the file format, your images should be output in the CMYK color definition. If possible, please use the Native File(s) your artwork was created from (.AI, .INDD, .PSD) and/or a Print-Ready PDF.
- Vector Art:
Adobe Illustrator .EPS or .AI files (best quality). Vector files can be scaled to any size, are not resolution specific, and provide the best result. We also accept InDesign files (.INDD, .IDML) but make sure they're PACKAGED Indesign files so there won't be issues of missing images and fonts.
- Raster Art:
Very High Resolution .TIFF, .JPG, or .PSD files, should be A MINIMUM of 300 dpi at 1/12th scale. There is no such thing as too much resolution... the higher the resolution, the better the result. 300dpi at 1/12th scale is the minimum. If you have even larger files, DO NOT downsize them to the minimum. Send the full resolution files whenever possible, as the larger the files, the better the print quality will be.
- High Resolution PDFs:
.PDFs file like Raster Art should be high resolution outputs generally from Illustrator or InDesign.
