 File Prep

Prepare files for success

Contact
File Types

PDF: with fonts outlined (preferred) or embedded
EPS: with fonts outlined
TIFF: with LZW compression ON
JPEG: saved to Maximum Quality

We do not accept native application files like InDesign, Quark, or PowerPoint. Please convert these into print ready PDF's using one of the standard PDF specifications like PDF X3a or X1a. Just about any of the standardized PDF presets will do an excellent job of preparing your file and give you an opportunity to catch possible problems earlier in the process.

If the file is already rasterized, simply leave it as a TIFF or JPEG instead of saving it as a PDF.

Color Formats

We accept RGB, CMYK, or vector files with Pantone named color equally well. Unlike many large format printers, we work best with Pantone colors that are not converted to RGB or CMYK, but instead are left as the named Pantone colors.

If you're in the process of creating a file, RGB and or Pantone named colors are the best choices. These will allow you to take full advantage of the color gamut our systems have to offer. If you like to work in an RGB space other than sRGB, let us know so we're sure to handle your job correctly.

If the file already exists as CMYK, do not convert it to RGB. It is better left alone in the interest of minimizing the number of color conversions done in the overall workflow. Plus, to realize the potential benefit of RGB, the file must be created as RGB. Converting CMYK to RGB does not improve the color performance.

It is always best to embed the Working Space profile that the file is designed in. If there is no embedded profile, we'll assume it is either sRGB or US Web Coated SWOP CMYK.

Proofs

No matter how good our color reproduction systems are, often a proof is a good idea. We can provide proofs from a formal proofing system or on the actual material that your job will run on.

When you upload your job, specify FPO proof for the proofing system, or Actual Job Material Proof.

File Transfer

When everything is ready, you can upload your job directly to us through this website. You don't need to bother with an FTP client or be limited by firewalls in your workplace.

There are no file size limitations and you can upload multiple files by compressing them into one ZIP or SIT file prior to uploading.

Just go here to give us the specs and upload the files.
