       No matter what you are creating, an important rule to remember when approaching graphic design is to begin with the final product in mind. By defining some specifications for your final print, you will become aware of important information that you will need to know during the design process that will greatly simplify the print process.

We have created this Printing Guide to help you determine which of our printers will best serve your needs, and to provide information (such as media size limitations and image resolution) that you will find useful when preparing your layout.

Always use a page setup at full size of the required final print. However, if you are using a software such as QuarkExpress which has a page layout size limit of 48", you should set up your file at a size directly proportional to the final output required.
