Artwork Requirements

Our preferred method of file submission is High Quality Print PDF. We recommend exporting files using the "High Quality Printing" setting. Before exporting your file as a PDF, convert all text to ‘outlines’ and embed all images. Include a screen shot or .jpg proof for content verification.

If you are not able to generate a "High Quality Print" PDF, we also accept the following software generated file formats.

1. Illustrator AI: Convert text to outlines, include all linked images.
2. InDesign files are not recommended for large format printing. We only except "High Quality Printing" PDF's generated from these software programs.

The best printing results are achieved when the resolution of the images are between 150-300DPI at final print size (full size). Images submitted at higher than 300 DPI will create larger file sizes without any visible gain in print quality.

All colours must be defined in CMYK. If converted from RGB to CMYK significant colour changes can occur, please proof your colours prior to submission. Pantone Spot Colours may be requested, but exact colour matches are not always possible. Reference printouts will be considered for layout only, not as actual colour reference. If a colour layout cannot be sent, include a .jpg, .pdf (screen optimized) or screen shot file, with the file name as "PROOF".

All files to be submitted via WeTransfer or Google Drive or Dropbox link. Please submit/upload your artwork along with your order number.

We will provide you with an artwork approval document for your approval. Customers are to confirm all artwork dimensions, spelling, images & information prior to approving. Once the proof has been accepted and confirmed by the client, Minus Displays does not accept responsibility for any errors or omissions in relation to the proof, nor shall Minus Displays be liable for any damages or loss as a result of those errors or omissions after the original proof has been approved by the client.

The turnaround time for most products is within 4 business days after receipt of payment and artwork proof approval. Artwork must be submitted and artwork proof approved for the printing production to begin. Delays in your artwork approval will result in delays for the expected delivery time.
