artwork specs »
- In an effort to better serve our clients, we have compiled some brief specifications to assist in preparation of electronic art files. We recommend that you upload your art file(s) to us using the “Send A File” function on our company web site. Have any questions? Please give us a call at 703-5BA-NANA (522-6262).
- Acceptable File Types:
- Your file must be either a VECTOR (line art) image or a RASTER (photo) image.
- We accept PC based files and can work with virtually any software except Adobe InDesign and Quark Xpress.
- Website graphics are almost always unusable due to their low resolution.
- Acceptable file types include the following:
 |
Adobe Illustrator (.ai)
|
|
Adobe Acrobat (.pdf)
|
|
EPS Files (.eps)
|
|
TIF Files (.tif)
|
|
JPEG Files (.jpg)
|
- Acceptable Resolution
- Raster images (ie- photographic) must be 300 dpi or better at full size (minimum of 150 dpi) and saved at the actual size needed for your sign whenever possible
- Vector images (ie-line art) must have all text or fonts converted to OUTLINES. Many programs offer an option to save or export text as vectors, curves, paths or outlines. Make sure to convert all fonts to outlines, curves or paths to avoid possible font substitution.
- Color Requirements
- If specific color specs are to be achieved on your sign, include Pantone Colors for your files, or provide a hard copy of the approximate colors desired. Banana Banner uses Pantone Matching System (PMS) color specs extensively when color matching is of importance to our client.
- File Size
- Direct Email- file sizes of less than 5MB can be emailed directly to us.
- FTP Upload- larger files require use of our ftp site. Total size of all uploaded files to our ftp site should be less than 1 gigabyte.
- Remember to not close the the “Send a File” window until after the file has been completely uploaded and you are redirected back to our company webpage.
