Full Color digital print signs
File Types -
saSignWorks accepts the following file formats: .TIF, .JPG, .EPS, Adobe Illustrator
CS2, and Adobe PhotoShop CS2..
CMYK Color Mode -
The color mode of submitted files must be CMYK. If your files are
submitted using any other color standard, such as RGB or Pantone,
we will do our best to convert your files to CMYK but if we are
unable to for any reason we are not responsible for the outcome
of the print. Conversion from one color standard to another may
cause colors to shift.
Resolution -
For an image to print properly, the image must be at least 300 dots
per inch (DPI) at the final output size. DO NOT try to change from
a low resolution to a higher one by increasing the DPI in your
imaging program.
Outlined Fonts -
When submitting EPS or PDF files to us, you must convert your fonts
into outlines. Outlining eliminates the need to send fonts along
your files, while maintaining a nice, crisp typeface.
Rich Black -
When you want an area of solid black within a document, 100% black
(K) will not result in a solid; saturated black. Instead, use Rich
Black, as represented by C:50% / M:50% / Y:10% / K:100%.

The rule below applies to ALL file types and most
program types. Especially Illustrator and FlexiSIGN PRO.
All
text should be converted to curves / outlines. This will eliminate
any font compatibility issues. If you can't convert the text to curves/outlines,
you will need to include the fonts as PC True Type Font.
