GUIDELINES
FOR LARGE FORMAT FILE SUBMISSION
|
|
IMAGE
FORMATS:
Please
ensure all image files are at least 150 dpi (actual
size) if submitting for large format printing.
 |
TIFF |
|
JPEG
(Ensure JPeg files are saved with Image Options set to Maximum
Quality) |
|
EPS |
**NOTE:
If we are to enlarge
your file to fit your required specs, the image will need to be saved at a
higher resolution that is proportional to the “150-dpi-at-actual-size”
rule of thumb. I.E., if you are submitting a file that is 12” x 18”
and you require a 24” x 36” poster print, your file will have to be at
least 300 dpi at the 12 x 18 size to accommodate the resampling during the
enlargement.
VECTOR
ART:
(i.e.,
Illustrator, CorelDraw, etc..)
Please
use vector based images for logos and other illustrated images in your
layout, as they can be enlarged and/or reduced indefinitely while
retaining sharp lines, clean edges and consistent color. Please save as
CMYK EPS format when possible.
|
Please
convert all fonts to outline prior to saving your files, as this will
ensure accurate rendition of your files and avoid font conflicts.
|
|
If
you have placed images within your Illustrator or CorelDraw files,
ensure that they are at least 150dpi at actual size (as described in
the previous paragraph).
|
PAGE
LAYOUT FILES:
(i.e.,
Adobe InDesign, QuarkXpress, etc).
|
Paradigm
accepts most conventional Page Layout applications for both PC and MAC
platform.
|
|
Please
ensure all fonts, linked images and/or graphics are included during
file submission.
|
|
If
possible we would prefer that files are exported as PDF files to avoid
text reflow and/or missing fonts and/or images. When exporting your
page layout file as a PDF, please ensure the PDF generator is
configured to generate a PDF file for PRINTING and not for Screen
Viewing only. Also ensure that all fonts, images, etc... are
downloaded into the PDF file.
|
MISCELLANEOUS
If
possible, please submit a color laser proof of your artwork for our
reference, and advise us if any spot colors need to match specific Pantone
colors, etc. Colors will be close, but not exact, due to the nature of
large format printing and the various substrates that are utilized.
BANNERS
FOR BANNER STANDS:
Please
ensure the following guidelines are met during the design and creation of
artwork for banners to be utilized with Tripod and/or Telescopic banner
stands:
|
Ensure
all images and vector art are in accordance with the guidelines stated
above relative to resolution, paths, etc.
|
|
If
your banner design requires a bleed, please include the bleed (1/4”
min) in your final artwork.
|
|
Grommet placed 1" from each corner.
|
|
|
|
TRIPOD
BANNER STANDS:
Grommets are installed in each of the four corners of banners used
with tripod banner stands. Please ensure that the design of
the banner will not be compromised by the installation of the four
grommets. The grommets are placed 1” from the left, right, top
and bottom of the banner, as shown in the image at LEFT. |
|
|
1-1/2" Gripper at top
& bottom. |
|
 |
|
TELESCOPIC
BANNER STANDS:
Banners used with telescopic banner stands utilize 1.5
inches of banner space on both the TOP and BOTTOM of the
banner to facilitate insertion into the banner holder. Please
ensure your artwork will not be compromised by this requirement.
Please refer to the image at LEFT for clarification. |
|
|
