Photoshop Files
- Set up Photoshop files at 200 dpi @final size for best quality. Save as RGB TIFF. 150 dpi or better for larger prints is OK, or if a large file size is a problem to transport.
- Include a fonts folder with both printer and screen fonts. If file is flattened, fonts folder is not necessary.
- Scans should be 200 dpi @ final size. Save as RGB TIFF > 150dpi or better will provide acceptable quality at size.
- Do not tile mural images or separate them into different pages. Create murals as a complete image and we will tile panels according to our output requirements.
- Avoid compressing files for best quality. Only compress .tiff files, do not compress .jpg’s.
QuarkXpress & In Design Documents
- We Do Not Accept Quark Files- We will, however, accept a Quark file output as a .eps, with all fonts created as outlines (we can’t guarantee file clarity or usability).

- Scans should be 200 dpi @final size for best quality. Save as RGB TIFF. 100 dpi or better will provide acceptable quality.
