Colour Settings

Rich Black Mix: When artwork is submitted that contains a colour that needs to print as a true black hue, there is a special mix that should be used. Please use C 50, M 45, Y 35, K 100. This will ensure that a black colour will print as our truest and richest black that is achievable on our digital print press.

If converting colours in an Adobe Photoshop document be sure to NOT use the selection wand - this will miss any pixels that have a different property than the selected pixel. Instead, please use black in selective color, set your darkest mix value as your “black” and then adjust the values until they match the mix.

Any Colour Mix: Please refer to a PMS Solid to Process Pantone Guide to pick colour mixes (C,M,Y,K) and let us know your colour match in the “Comments” box on the "Contact Us" form located on this website. We print digitally, but can match coated Pantone colours.

Be sure to check your Colour Mode. If your image is in another mode, such as RGB, indexed colour, or greyscale mode, we recommend that you convert it to CMYK mode. When you make this conversion, a slight colour shift will occur, and you may want to adjust your image accordingly. If you send us a file in any mode other than CMYK, our system performs the colour shift, and may adjust the look of your image.

File Type

Our system accepts .jpg, and vector .eps formats. We suggest building the file at 10%, make sure all images are 500 dpi at this size. If you build the file in Illustrator, you can export it at 500 dpi as a .jpg. Use an image editing program like Photoshop to convert the file into .jpg format by “Saving As” a .jpg file. Simply renaming the file with .jpg will not convert your image into a .jpg file format. Refer to your image editing software help for more information on converting image files into .jpg format.

Naming Your Files

  • When you have completed your art, save the file at 10% of full size at 500 dpi as a jpg or eps with an TIF preview.
  • Do not include the words “logo,” “text” or “banner.” Do not to use any _underscores, numbers or spaces. Name the files as simply as you can in reference to your project so you can recognize them from a drop down menu.
  • Your file name must be less than 22 characters with no spaces. The extension is included in the 22 (ex: .jpg = 4 char.)
  • Remember: the requirements for large format printing are different than regular print. Please read carefully as your files will have issues when uploading the art to the website if they are not followed correctly.

Please do not add bleed, crop or registration marks, create art at exact size in inches, adjust text too close to edges. Images do not need to be large resolution, at full size it only needs to be 50dpi. Our printer will re-interpolate the file at 400dpi.
