Art Setup
Please set up your file at 10% scale, with embedded graphics at least 720 dpi.
For a 14’ H x 10’ W Banner, your file size is 16.8” H x 12.0” W.

14’ H x 10’ W = 168” H x 120” W (16.8” H x 12.0” W @ 10% Scale)

Accepted File Formats: Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign or QuarkXPress.
(note: DO NOT flatten Photoshop files).

All fonts must be converted to paths. If possible, fonts should be included also.
72 dpi at full size (720 dpi @ 10% scale) is optimal for photographic images,
and any vector art/copy will print at highest possible resolution.

Set up photographic images in CMYK color mode; please provide a matchprint.
PMS numbers should be assigned to all vector art and copy.

ALL DISKS SHOULD BE ACCOMPANIED BY A COLOR HARD COPY OF THE ART!
ALL ELECTRONIC FILES SHOULD BE ACCOMPANIED BY A COMPOSITE .PDF.
