DESIGN //
I have artwork and a clear idea of what I want. Could you let me know which file format you require?
- Convert your project to CMYK color mode and save it as a TIFF file with LZW compression
- Provide high-resolution digital files. For optimal results, ensure the resolution is at least 100 dpi at 100% size (or equivalently, 200 dpi at 50% size, or 400 dpi at 25% size).
- Convert all fonts and strokes to outlines.
- For logos, please create vector files and save them as PDFs.
- Keep text and important images, such as logos, at least ¼ to 1 inch away from the edges of your design. For vinyl banners, allow a 1.5-inch margin to accommodate grommets and trimming.
- Specify Pantone colors for solid areas to achieve the best color match (up to 85% accuracy).
- Make sure all files include the correct file extensions.
- For large files, please use WeTransfer to send them to us.
What if I need help creating my artwork or design?
While custom printing is our specialty, graphic design is not our primary focus. However, because of the nature of our work, we can tailor our designs to meet your exact requirements. Ask us about the design package that best fits your project. This service is provided in close consultation with you and will always be confirmed before production begins.
What is vector file format?
A Guide to Logo Vector Files: What is a Vector file format? And why should I use it?
Countless times clients have asked in a panic, “Can you please send my logo over to our printer in a “vector’ format? I have no idea what this means!”” Or, we need to request a client’s existing logo for our design work, only to receive a rasterized file format that doesn’t allow us to use it with unlimited creativity.
This article is a guide to vector formats (a.k.a. EPS files), explaining what they are and why you should use them for your firm or company logo.
What is the definition of Vector Graphic?
According to Wikipedia: “Vector graphics files store the lines, shapes and colours that make up an image as mathematical formulae.” They are also known as EPS files.
Have you heard of Adobe Illustrator? It’s the way to do it.
A vector graphics program (like Adobe Illustrator) uses these mathematical formulae to construct the screen image, building the best quality image possible. The mathematical formulae determine where the dots that make up the image should be placed for the best results when displaying the image.
Should you care about resizing your logo? Yes, all logos can be on a billboard.
Since these formulae can produce an image scalable to any size and detail, the quality of the vector image is limited only by the resolution of the display. The file size of vector data generating the image stays the same.” For example, printing vector images on paper will usually give a sharper, higher resolution output than displaying them on a screen, but they use exactly the same vector data file.
Why Should I have my Logo in Vector Format?
- We can manipulate it better and have more creative options;
- We can separate it from the background and pull apart elements;
- We can edit the colours;
- We can use it on stationery designs;
- We can use it for other print materials, including brochures, direct-mail pieces, and other print materials;
- The colours can be set up to be printed consistently from any commercial printer;
- It can scale to fit a billboard and won’t lose quality; and
- It can be created in outlines so the font never loads differently.
