For best print quality, we recommend submitting:

  • Print-ready PDF (preferred)
  • Adobe Illustrator (.AI)

  • Are set to CMYK color mode
  • Include 0.125″ bleed on all sides (if required)
  • Have fonts outlined or embedded
  • Maintain at least 300 DPI resolution

Large Format Printing (Banners & Backdrops)

For large prints:

  • Files may be scaled proportionally
  • Minimum 150 DPI at full size

Not recommended (can cause issues)

  • Low-resolution images pulled from Google
  • Screenshots
  • Files exported for web (small size / RGB / compressed)
