The raster file I’m going to send you has the size 90KB. Is it enough for a good quality print?

No, a raster file (pixel graphics) should have at least the size more than 1MB (the more the better). If the quality of a file you are going to send is not enough for a good quality print, we can rework it but a design fee applies. Please send us the file you have and […]

Usually a picture on a web site is a very small and low resolution file with a size of about 15 – 50 KB. We can redraw it using a professional vector program. Otherwise it would look ugly on your signs. The design fee is $20 – $50 depending on logo complexity.

Do you charge extra if I used reversed image for a lawn sign artwork (white letters on a blue background)?

 Reversed image print (white letters on a printed background) is about $0.30 / sign more expensive because we have to use much more ink for such a design.Please don’t forget that a printable area for lawn bag signs is 1″ smaller than a bag size on all edges around the images, for example: a printable […]
