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.  Call your local Signs Now to see if any other requirements apply.
