Feel free to consult with us before starting your project to make sure there will not be any problems printing your files.

RESOLUTION

All file formats must have a minimum resolution of 300dpi at 100% of print size.

Print images need to be created at 350 dpi or there will be substantial drop in image quality. Images for the web are done at a low resolution of 72 dpi. Low resolution web graphics, CGM, WMF, BMP, and PICT cannot be used as acceptable artwork.
