We accept a variety of type and design files from our customers for use in the production of your signs. The files we accept are IBM PC compatible. It is important that we know the software package you used to create your file as well as the format in which it was saved. There are two big categories in file formatting: Vector and Rastor (bitmap).
Vector files are images that consist of layers and paths that can be enlarged without risk of blurring or pixelating. For this reason, vectored images are the preferred choice for banners, digital printing and other services that we provide. Programs such as Adobe Illustrator and CorelDraw produce vector images.
Vector files we accept are:
- EPS - Encapsulated Postscript
- AI - Adobe Illustrator CS2 or earlier
- Flexi Sign Pro 7.6 or earlier
- Corel 11 or earlier
- DWG or DXF - AutoCAD Drawings
Rastor files are created when the image you used was either scanned or taken from a digital camera or also created in a bitmap editing program like Adobe Photoshop, Corel Photopaint, etc. Rastor files are also created from illustration programs such as Corel Draw and Adobe Illustrator.
Rastor files we accept are:
- BMP - Windows Bitmap File
- TIFF - Tagged Image Format
- JPG - Compressed Bitmap
- PDF - Adobe Portable Document Format
- PSD - Adobe Photo Shop
Special Notes:
- Convert all text to outlines before saving
