Question
What file formats are accepted for aluminum signs?
Answer
Aluminum signs print best from a print-ready PDF, with AI, PSD, and EPS also accepted. PDF preserves your layout, fonts, and colors from one machine to the next, which is why it is the preferred format for rigid sign work.
| Spec | Recommended setting |
|---|---|
| Preferred format | PDF (AI, PSD, EPS accepted) |
| Color mode | CMYK |
| Resolution | 150 DPI or higher |
| Bleed and marks | Standard bleed plus trim marks |
Large-format panels can be built at 150 DPI because they are viewed from a distance, but keep small text and logos crisp by outlining fonts and using vector art where possible.
