Digital Tips

Here are some tips for file preparation in our digital department.

  • Scans - RGB is best (better if we do them).
  • Use current programs but not betas or early releases like version 1.01.
  • Don't use rotation or non-linear scaling of photos in Postscript programs such as Quark Xpress.
  • Don't use check box font modifiers.
  • If colors are critical ask for a color test of your colors from your program.
  • Small CMYK scans with high levels of unsharp masking usually make poor murals.
  • Optical media (CDs) are more durable for air shipping than magnetic disks such as Zips and Syquests.
  • Arbitrarily enlarging photo files to match mural printer resolutions yields ungainly files. Please ask for help before doing this.

These are general suggestions and ideas. If you have questions or need clarification, please fell free to call us.
