Artwork Requirements

To ensure accurate reproduction of your artwork, please follow the below guidelines when submitting electronic files to Banners Ink

Digital Printing

Graphics must be in Vector Format

How to recognise if your graphics are in vector format ~ By zooming in on the image, if the quality remains crisp and sharp then it is a vector image.

If the image is made of little boxes (called Pixels) when you zoom in, then it is a Raster Image.

Vector Images are still the best format for digital prints as they can be enlarged or reduced without any loss of quality.

If forwarding bitmap images, these should be at least 72 dpi at the full output size of the print, eg. if the file to be printed is 1800 x 1200 it has to be at least 72 dpi at that size.

A higher resolution such as 150 dpi or even 300 dpi will produce a better quality image.

What if the Graphics are not Vectorised?

We can redraw Raster images as Vector images within 24 hours. An electronic example of the image must be supplied (eg Jpg, Tif, PDF) and all PMS Colours and Fonts specified.
