Please see our art guidelines page for a detailed list of what file formats we accept for our screen printing, embroidery, and direct to garment processes.
I have a picture from a website; can you use it to make my sign?
No. Images that are found online are set up for a screen resolution quality view only (72dpi). This is clear enough to view online; however, in order to successfully print something on a banner or sign, the image needs to be of high resolution (300dpi to scale or higher). Printing a 72dpi image or photo will turn out VERY pixelated and is not acceptable. Please see our art requirements for the acceptable and preferred file formats. If you have an image you’ve found online that you want to use as inspiration for a custom design, then that is okay to provide us as a basis to start a new design, but printing from those images is not possible.
EPS stands for Encapsulated PostScript. It is a vector-based file format that is very popular in the printing industry due to the fact that vector files (such as an .EPS) consist of graphics that are resolution-independent. They are scalable objects made up of mathematical calculations, and therefore can be resized or reduced easily without any loss of quality. They are the ideal format for screen printing or signage designs.
*Programs that are considered “vector” based are Adobe Illustrator and CorelDraw. If you create your designs in these programs, then they can be scaled infinitely large without losing any quality!
