There are just a few simple rules to follow when creating your artwork that will help to insure a quality output from our printers. NOTE: All of our signs include a 1/2″ to 3/4″ white border. Additional charges may apply for full bleed signs.
.ai
Adobe Illustrator
.eps
Encapsulated Post Script
.pdf
Adobe Portable Document Form
.psd
Adobe Photoshop Document
(May incur a re-creation fee)
NOTE: Use any of the following formats to submit your artwork if the above formats are not available
.jpg
.bmp
.tiff
When submitting your artwork you must either convert all text to curves or supply us with all fonts used. Fonts must be submitted in PC format (both screen and printer fonts). You will also need to include any links, imports or embedded graphics.
While it is possible for us to print full size files at 72 dpi your images will be significantly cleaner and more vibrant if 300dpi or higher resolutions are used. As outlined above optimal results are achieved when the artwork is created at full size and we are supplied with those native art files.
A general rule for sending photos is to send the photo in its original form as the digital camera created it. The original photo used determines the final output of your photo on the sign. In addition, the photo should be as close to the output size as possible. For instance if the photo area of the sign panel you are ordering is 5” x 7” then you should supply us with photo of similar size. Here are a couple of common Do’s and Don’ts when it comes to photos:
.jpg
.psd
.tiff
For files under 10 megabytes (1 megabyte = 1,000,000 bytes)
you can e mail them to sales@mcesigns.com or upload them in the forms on the website. In the subject box please reference what the e mail is containing. If you have more than one file to upload, either archive them into one single file using winzip or upload one file at a time. If the files are too large please contact MCE signs for help.
