WE CAN WORK WORK WITH ANYTHING YOU GIVE US!

However... if you have access to the original files you or another party created we ask that any ARTWORK be saved in vector formats!

EG. Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, EPS formats, ect. rather than any bitmap saved formats!

FILE PREFERENCES:

We ask that all files be saved in the following formats (in order of preference).

• CorelDRAW files (CDR or CMX, any version up to 12.0)
• PC Adobe Illustrator (AI, any version up to 8.0)
• PC Encapsulated PostScript vector graphics (EPS)
• The following formats can be opened, but may have limitations: Adobe Acrobat (PDF, great for viewing, sometimes can't be edited), Macromedia Freehand (FH), Corel/Micrografx Designer (DSF/DRW), Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG, SVGZ), WordPerfect (WPG, WP4, WP5, WPD), Macintosh PICT (PCT), Microsoft Word (DOC, DOT, MCW), Windows Metafile (WMF, EMF), Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM), Frame Vector Metafile (FMV)
• AutoCAD (DXF, DWG, version 14 or lower--very difficult for us to work with, but it's a place to start)
• We can open most bitmap formats (BMP, TIF, GIF, JPG, JPEG, PhotoShop, Photo-Paint), but their usability is limited.
  NOTE: Bitmaps may be used for printed sign elements, such as a full-color photo or pattern. Bitmaps are made up of a gridwork of square dots. When these files are expanded, the squares get larger, creating a jagged, "stair-stepped" image. Most logos that have been created in PhotoShop (or other similar program) are not of a high enough resolution to be used effectively on signage. For this reason, scanned and bitmapped images that have not been converted to lines, curves or paths will very often involve clean-up design fees.
  File formats include: BMP, CAL, CPT, FPX, GIF, JPG, JPEG, JP2, MAC, PCD, PCX, PNG, PPF, PP4, PP5, PSD, RIFF, SCT, TGA, TIF, TIFF, XCF, XPM, WI
• Black and white proof or slick. We can scan these images, up to 8½" x 14." The larger and cleaner the print is, the better, to save clean-up time and excessive design charges.
• Faxed artwork. Be advised that this method always involves lengthy clean-up, and thus design charges, except with the simplest of logos/designs.
• If you are unable to provide any of these formats, please call and ask for the Graphics Department at (603)357-3111, for help.

IF THIS PAGE MAKES NO SENSE TO YOU... Don't worry just submit what you have, and we'll make it work!
