: : How to set up a file : : If you want to send us a file via e-mail keep in mind that large files will take a long time to upload and download. Please try to keep e-mailed files to 3 Megs or less. Files can be e-mailed to Tom Schommer Make Sure that the files are proportional to the final size. If you are submitting files on a disk or via e-mail please make sure that the dimensions of the file are proportional to the requested size of the final print. For instance, if the requested final image size of your print is to be 4’ x 8’ the file should be set up with an aspect ratio of 2:1 such as 24” x 48”. If the file you submit on disk is not proportional to the final output keep in mind that you may be charged additional artwork fees and that your image may need to be cropped. Also take into consideration that the maximum QuarkXPress can output a file to is 400%. All fonts should be included. Be sure to double check and make sure that you have included all of the fonts in the document. Also check to make sure that there are no embedded fonts (fonts that are embedded within placed images in a Quark document.) Sign Source can accept Files set up in the following programs: • QuarkXPress 6.0 or earlier • Abobe IllustratorCS2 v12.0 or earlier • Adobe Photoshop CS2 v9.0 or earlier • Adobe InDesign CS2 v3.0 or earlier • Corel Draw 11.0 or earlier If you have a file set up in a program other than those listed or a file format that you are unsure of, please contact a our design department for assistance (952)908-9111 or e-mail Tom Schommer.
