Artwork and File Setup for Large-Format Printing
Good production starts with the right file. Send the finished size, quantity, deadline, intended use, and any installation details with your artwork so our team can check the project before it moves into print.
What to Include
- A print-ready PDF whenever possible
- Outlined or packaged fonts
- Linked images at an appropriate resolution for the final viewing distance
- Bleed, trim, and safe-area guidance when the product requires it
- Pantone, CMYK, or other color references when color matching matters
Common File Questions
Can you review artwork before production?
Yes. Send the file with the project size, material, deadline, and installation context so the team can identify obvious setup concerns before printing.
Do large banners need 300 DPI?
Not always. Required resolution depends on the finished size and expected viewing distance. A properly prepared large-format file can often use a lower effective resolution than a close-viewed brochure or photograph.
What if I do not know the correct material or file size?
Describe where the graphic will be used, how long it needs to last, and how it will be installed. The team can help route the project before final artwork is prepared.
