Printing good looking signs starts with good looking sign art.

If you want your artwork to print in the best way possible on your signs, then how you supply your sign art file to us is important.  Since you’re not all designers, we’ve made a quick and simple ‘sign art guide’ to explain a couple of handy points you need to know to get the best print results.  We hope this helps!

JPEG sign art

1 – If you are supplying a jpeg, please send it sized at 300dpi to print size. You can check this in photoshop in the image panel (Image/image size – look for the Dots per inch field).

2 – If you can’t check that, send the JPEG as big as you can.

VECTOR sign art – Illustrator / Inkscape

3 – If you are supplying a vector file (.ai, .eps, vector pdf) then please outline all of your fonts! These can be done by selecting all your text, right clicking and choosing CREATE OUTLINES. Click here to read our blog post on how to do this or watch our quick video tutorial here.

4 – Please make sure all of your images are embedded – you can do this through the links panel in illustrator. Click the drop down arrow in the top right hand side, and select embed image.

Large files

5 – Please send large files through a cloud service, such as dropbox or wetransfer.com. If using dropbox, we prefer you to up0load your art as a zip file to the public folder in your own dropbox, and send us the public link (right click the file name for this option).
