18″ x 12″ Coroplast Signs

There are just a few simple rules to follow when creating your artwork that will help to insure a quality output from our printers.

Create the artwork in the size of your final output.
If you are creating artwork using raster based software such as Adobe Photoshop or if you are using vector based software like Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW and your design has raster images such as photos then you must create your image the same size as your final output. For instance if you are designing for an 18" x 24" sign panel then your artwork should be 18" x 24" at 300dpi. If you're using vector based software and all elements of the design are vector based then your artwork can be scaled and you just need to be sure to create the file in the exact aspect ratio of the intended output.



Create your artwork in CMYK.
With the new age of digital printing most of our products are now printed digitally using CMYK values. In order for us to match your colors as close as possible, it is optimal that you supply us with the CMYK value for each color in your artwork. If your artwork contains photos or other full color images your artwork will be printed as full color. Please designate in your artwork or on supporting documentation what the exact CMYK values are. If you would like to match your colors to PMS values then please supply those as well. To avoid possible mistakes and delays DO NOT rely on our artist to select CMYK colors from your artwork for you.



Bleeds and Crops.
If your design will include a bleed area, please allow for a .25 inch bleed on all sides. Crop marks are not necessary.
