Best option: vector art
AI, EPS, SVG, and press-ready PDF files are usually best because they stay sharp at any size and can often be used for production with little or no cleanup.
ART for Printing
Artwork help
Send your art file and we’ll review it before production.
First time ordering? Start here. Send the file you have, and we’ll let you know whether it is ready to print or needs setup work.
Simple pricing for artwork setup
Most customers only need to know one thing: if your file is ready, there may be no setup charge. If it is not ready, we quote the artwork work first.
Text-only layouts Setup typically starts at $60 when we need to build or clean up simple text artwork.
Full-color artwork Setup typically starts at $99 for more complex files, tracing, or graphic preparation.
Print-ready files If your supplied file is ready to produce, setup may be reduced or waived.
What files work best
The easiest way to avoid delays is to send the original design file whenever possible. If you are not sure what type of file you have, just send it anyway and we will review it.
Usable with review: high-resolution images
PSD, TIFF, PNG, JPG, and standard PDF files may work if they are large and clear enough for your final sign size.
NO PLACED FILES Include linked items
If your file uses placed images or special fonts, send those too so the layout opens correctly on our side.
Convert text to outlines when possible
Outlined text prevents font substitution issues and helps keep your lettering exactly as designed.
First-time order checklist
Use this as a quick pass before sending files. It covers the most common reasons orders pause for clarification.
- 1Send the art file you have, plus any original source files if available.
- 2Tell us the finished size of the sign or letters so we can judge file quality correctly.
- 3Include fonts, logos, or linked images if they are not embedded in the file.
- 4Let us know if you already have brand colors or exact dimensions that must be matched.
Not sure whether your file is vector? That's normal. Send the file and we will tell you what it is and whether anything needs to be rebuilt.
Questions customers usually ask
These answers keep the page useful without forcing first-time buyers through a long technical explanation.
Can I send a JPG from my website?
Maybe. A web image is often too small for production, but we can check it and tell you whether it is usable.
Do I need to know design software?
No. You do not need to prepare files perfectly. Send what you have, and we will explain the next step in plain language.
What if my logo needs to be redrawn?
We can usually rebuild or clean up artwork for production and quote the setup before work begins.
Will you review my file before I order?
Yes. A quick file review helps prevent surprises and is the fastest way to tell whether setup charges apply.
Ready to send your file?
Email your artwork, project size, and any notes about colors or edits. We will review it and reply with the clearest next step.
