We can accept many native file formats, 
although our preference is PDF – particularly Illustrator editable PDF.

​

Scaling

PDFs can be supplied final size up to 5000x5000mm.
Any Larger and the PDF must be scaled down by half or 1 tenth or more depending on the size.

 

Resolution

• 100 pixels per inch at final size is optimal for most large format work.

• Anything over 150 pixels per inch at final size will not improve print quality and will result in very large file sizes.

• Scaled down files must have the pixels per inch scaled up accordingly at export time.
  Example: a 100ppi file at final size must be a 1000ppi file at 1 tenth size.
  This resolution must be entered in PDF output settings at export time.

​

Colour

Embed any spot colours you wish to match
CMYK is a preference for most images.  RGB can work with embedded profiles, but safer to avoid.
Please embed icc profiles in images where possible
White ink must be placed as a spot colour on a separate layer and called “white”.

 

Bleed

Provide bleed where applicable.
We do not require trim marks or registration marks.

 

Dielines

Provide a spot colour dieline on a separate layer and call it “cutpath”.

​

Fonts

We prefer outlined fonts, however embedding fonts is usually fine.
