Epic Arts Banner Printing – File Guidelines

Color

All images must be in CMYK color mode. Grayscale images can be used, but because our press is optimized for four-color output, there may be some output issues. RGB images submitted will be converted to CMYK before printing and this can result in significant color shifting. For this reason, it is strongly encouraged that printed design be done in CMYK, rather than done in RGB and then converted to CMYK after the design is set. Monitor CMYK values are still only emulated compared to the actual printed output, but it gives a much better idea as to color relationships. In other words, you may see slight color variation on the printed banner compared to your monitor.

Bleed and Trim

No bleed is necessary. Please just build out to the actual dimension of the card. It is best to keep all critical information at least 1/2 inch away from the edges, an inch is better if possible, especially on larger banners.

Rich Blacks

Whenever any areas of black are being used (any design element or larger than 20 point fonts), please use a rich black rather than a single-color black. A good mix is 45 Cyan, 35 Magenta, 20 Yellow, 100 Black.

Acceptable Filetypes

PDF, PSD (Photoshop), EPS, TIFF, and JPG.  High-resolution (300 dpi) TIFF and JPG files will produce the best results - we cannot guarantee the quality of any submitted images that are less than 300dpi to begin with.

Any files submitted that do not meet the above guidelines will be corrected at a rate of $50/hour (minimum ½ hour charge).
