In the world of
digital imaging there are many options. One of the decisions you face
is what type of file you should send to get the desired output. Well,
we're here to simplify things for you.
At Signs Now we can
accept many file formats on both Macintosh and PC platforms. The file
formats of choice at most Signs Now locations are as follows:
EPS
Encapsulated Postscript
This format can be used on any of the large format devices. It should
come from either Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, or Adobe Photoshop. If
the file is saved from Photoshop, please do not use the DCS option.
Sending files in CMYK, Pantone, or RGB is acceptable. Whenever possible
convert your text to curves or outlines.
JPG
Joint Photographics Experts Group Format
This format is excellent for transferring photographs across the
Internet. A JPG file from Adobe Photoshop or Corel PhotoPaint can be
sent to any Signs Now location for production. Leaving the file in RGB
mode is preferred.
TIFF
Tagged Image File Format
This format is excellent for photographs. It can be used on any of the
large format devices. A "tiff" file from Adobe Photoshop or Corel
Photopaint can be sent to any Signs Now location for production.
Leaving the file in RGB or CMYK mode is also preferred.
PS/PRN
PostScript/Print file
These formats are acceptable when you do not wish to have any
alterations made to your original document. They "seal" the original
file so that changes cannot be made. If you should have any questions
when creating this type of file, you should contact your local Signs
Now. They will be more than happy to assist you.
QUARK/PAGEMAKER
Application Files
These files are the original documents saved from the respective
applications. When using these types of files, please remember to
include all fonts and graphics that you have used in your document.
