TIPS FOR ARTWORK CREATION:

Large format graphic creation can be difficult due to issues with file size and ability to find images at a high enough resolution that look good at final size.

HERE ARE A FEW TIPS:

Use Illustrator and make vector based output. Create images and link them into the document.

Specify critical PMS colors in the vector file using the PMS solid coated color chart.

Transparencies viewed on monitors will differ from printed output. We suggest hard proofs when transparencies are being used.

If your file is over 1 gigabyte, simplify your design using more vector output.
