| Vector
art should be delivered as an EPS file. Please convert all text
to outlines. That way, you won’t have to worry about whether
or not we have your fonts. If possible, choose to include all
placed artwork in the file, otherwise, make sure to include the
placed art on your disk.
NOTE
about black: in the CMYK color space, there are thousands of
combinations which will create black. On your screen, all these
blacks look the same. However, when they are printed, there
is a big difference between them. Most layout programs default
to one-color black, or C:0, M:0, Y:0, K:100. To get the best
print quality, you should use a four-color black, or C:75, M:75,
Y:75, K:100. This will generate a much deeper, richer black.
Bitmap
art should be delivered as a TIFF file. Other acceptable formats
include: JPEG, BMP, GIF, and Targa. In terms of resolution,
the closer your file is to 100 pixels per finished inch, the
better. For example: your banner is going to be 3’ x 10’,
or 36” by 120”, a resolution of 3600 x 12000 pixels
is best. Lower resolutions will print and may be acceptable
depending on your application. JPEG files start out compressed
and are more or less “noisy” depending on the settings
used. This can lead to undesirable artifacts in the finished
print. GIF files use indexed color, and do not scale well. The
importance of these factors depend on the final size and the
average viewing distance. Feel free to call a SuperWide representative
to discuss your particular project. Please read the above note
regarding four-color black, as this applies to bitmap art as
well.
