Design & Artwork Setup
Artwork Specifications
For optimal results, ensure your artwork is at a minimum resolution of 150 DPI at actual print size. To achieve the best quality, especially for detailed designs, 300 DPI is recommended. Incorporate a 50mm bleed on all sides to avoid unexpected cropping. We accept PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, TIFF, and high-resolution JPG formats. Our UV printing technology guarantees vibrant and long-lasting colours, which is essential for maintaining brand consistency across WAYFINDING sites.
