CUSTOM PRINTED MARQUEES

ID MARQUEES accept print ready artwork.

WHAT IS 'PRINT READY ARTWORK"

Providing your artwork to us ‘print ready’ means we don’t need to do anything to it prior to printing. If we do need to work on it for whatever reason, additional charges may apply.

FILE FORMATS

Export your file into a PDF (Portable Document File) or EPS (Encapsulated Post Script). These file formats are universal file formats, which help to ensure compatibility with our systems.

We do not accept the following file formats: 

Microsoft Office (Word, Excel and Powerpoint) & Works (WPS), Microsoft Publisher, GIF, BMP, PNG, SVG, PICT, MIX & PCX, Visio.

FONTS

Convert all fonts to curves, or include font files with document.

COLOURS

Convert all colors to CMYK mode. All our production equipment is based on a CMYK process and RGB colors may not convert properly.

To ensure color matches for “colour critical” print jobs, we can provide a colour proof on the desired media. This service does require a nominal fee. Status Signs does not guarantee colour matches, nor warranties any colour reproductions of customer supplied art files unless the customer approves a production proof of their file.

REMOVE LAYERS

Flatten all layers and transparencies. Some design programs such as photoshop use a layer system and sometimes these layers do no import correctly into our production software.

RESOLUTION

FILE SIZE

For larger projects (usually larger than 2ft.x3ft.) it helps to design your files at 50% or 1:2 aspect ratio, this helps to reduce file sizes and helps the file transfer process.
PHOTOS

All JPEG/JPG files must be supplied at high quality and at 300dpi. For digital camera photos, please use the highest quality setting the camera can take. Submit the original unmodified file to us. We do not recommend using compression when saving JPEG/JPG files.  

Files can be supplied on CD, DVD, email (below 10mb) or uploaded to our FTP site via our website.

CHARGES

If your artwork requires extensive work to bring it to specification, a fee of $125 per hour will be charged.

If you do not have, or would like one of our qualified graphic designers to create it for you, our fee is $125 per hour.

CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITY

When supplying print ready artwork, please ensure you supply an accurate printout of the layout if supplying on disk, or a low quality JPEG/JPG or PDF file if supplying via email. Final responsibility for the quality and suitability of all electronic files rests with the customer or their agent/designer. ID MArquee will not accept or process files that are not compatible with its production environment or other than those indicated on this document. Electronic artwork supplied using incorrect file formats or construction methods will be returned to the customer for correction.
