Sending
Your Artwork For Display Printing & Sign Making
Instructions
on sending your artwork to Garside Signs and Displays.
We
work in a vector format for most of our projects. We can work
with files created in vector drawing programs able to export an
"eps" file.
The programs that work or can export to a vector format (.eps
or .ai files) include:
- Corel
- Freehand
- Adobe
Illustrator
- Adobe
InDesign
Any
raster formats such as .gif,. tiff, .bmp or .tiff will require
us to recreate your artwork so it is in "vector" format.
This could take hours depending on how complex your artwork is.
Make
sure all fonts used are converted to outlines before sending us
your file. This way we don't need to have the font that you used
in your artwork.
What
is "Vector" format? What is "Raster" format?
See Below for more info.
To
send us your artwork, you can use our "order" form.
If you have any questions regarding file formats or sending your
artwork to us just give us a call.
- What
is vector format?
Vector
graphics are images that are completely described using mathematical
definitions. Each individual line is made up of either a vast
collection of points with lines interconnecting all of them
or just a few control points. Vector drawings are usually pretty
small files because they only contain data about control points.
Vector drawings can usually be scaled without any loss in quality.
This makes them ideal for company logo's, maps or other objects
that have to be resized frequently. CAD (Computer Aided Design)
programs generate image files in vector format ( for example
DXF, DWG, DWF ).
- What
is raster format?
Another
name for raster format is "Bitmap". Bitmap images
are exactly what their name implies: a collection of bits that
form an image. The image consists of a matrix of individual
dots (or pixels), each with its own color, which is defined
using bits, the smallest unit of information on a computer.
Most image-painting programs generate files in raster format
(for example BMP, JPG, PNG).
