Whether you use our templates or you create your own document, please make sure the dimension of your file is the exact size of the finished size.

Image Resolution

Photos and graphics need to be 125 DPI at full size

In Photoshop, you can go to IMAGE -> IMAGE SIZE to find out your file resolution.

Why 125 DPI?

Since your banner will be a large format print, you don't need to prepare your file in 300 DPI which is usually used for smaller format print.
If you are uncertain of the quality of your images, please call us at 888-748-7446 or email us at info@sdsign.com

Color Mode

Your file has to be in CMYK mode.
IMAGE -> MODE -> CMYK

Saving

When you are done with the design, flatten all the layers

then save as TIF.

If you need our graphic designers to modify your art work, don't flatten layers but convert all text to shapes.
(Graphic modification - $65 per hour. Please call for estimated time.)
LAYER -> TYPE -> CONVERT TO SHAPE

You are almost done!

Before you upload the file(s) to us, view your graphic in actual pixel view. VIEW -> ACTUAL PIXEL
Review the entire graphic carefully, especially your logo and photos if any, to make sure it looks good to you.
Because what you see in the actual pixel view is very close to what you will get on your banner(s).

If you are satisfied with what you see, please UPLOAD FILES with your contact and order information.
