Artwork Guidelines
Please follow the guidelines described below. These guidelines will ensure that your prints will be
the best quality possible.
Files Formats We Can Use:
We CAN accept; .EPS, .AI, .PSD, .TIFF, or high resolution .JPEG. We CANNOT accept; word
documents, or power point files.
Fonts:
Always convert your fonts to outlines/curves to avoid any issues regarding font matching.
Vector Artwork:
We accept vectored artwork as .AI, .EPS or .PDF format. Vectored artwork is always the best
choice for large signs as it will remain crisp no matter how big you make it - unlike bitmap files.
Even if the picture is a bitmap file you should send the text and logos as vector format.
Photo Image Requirements:
You must consider the distance your graphics will be viewed from. If an image is going to be
viewed from a far distance, then the resolution will not have to be as high as it does for close
viewing distances.
It's best to size your artwork for the actual size of the
image to be created.
Artwork that will be viewed at a distance of greater than 12 feet can have a resolution of 85 dpi.
If you want the image to be crisp when viewed at less than 6 feet then a resolution of 150 dpi
should be used for actual size artwork.
If you have any questions or need help preparing your artwork contact us directly at
sales@taylordigital.ca or call us at 1-888-666-9110 and ask for the art department.
Accurate Color Reproduction:
Provide all colors in your file as Pantone colors, we cannot guarantee colour match when pantone
colors are not present. Create your files as RGB whenever possible. A color proof should always
accompany your files for accurate reproduction.
How to Send Your Files:
Artwork files that are smaller than 5MB can be emailed to us at sales@taylordigital.ca The fastest way
to get files over 5 MB is by using our FTP site. Send us an email or call for instructions.
