Frequently Asked Questions

How are your color banners different?

Our color banners are printed in full color using 6 ink colors for rich, vibrant color.  And since we can print up to 8’ wide, there is no need to tile or sew together smaller pieces when you need a really large size. 

What are the ink colors in your 6 color printing process?

We print with standard cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink, plus light cyan and light magenta.  Our banner inks are solvent based which means they will last longer than any other ink formula in bright sun or inclement weather. 

How big can I make my color banners?

Can you match my Pantone or logo color?

Banner color is more difficult to match to a Pantone color than our paper based posters.  As with all process printing, color matching is not guaranteed. If color is critical, please request a proof.

How do I set up my banner file?

If you are printing more than one banner, always send one multiple page file, rather than several single page files.  Illustrator files should be saved as eps or pdf, with fonts converted to outlines and crops added.  Call or email us for setup guidelines for your project.

How long will it take to complete my order?

Most vinyl banners are ready in 2 days. Please allow additional time for pole pockets, stitching or other post printing finishing. 8’ wide banners and larger banner orders often take a bit longer. Please allow additional time for memory intensive or large orders. Times are estimated and may vary according to work in house.  Always call to confirm service availability

How big can I make my banner?

We image to 98" (printable area of 96") by most any length. Adhesive backed and smooth finish vinyl is available to 60” wide.

Can I use my banners in direct sun or outdoors?

Absolutely. Our vinyl banners are designed for outdoor use for 6 months to 3 years.  Longevity is estimated as your actual use may vary according to environmental conditions.

How can I set up my poster file?

It's quite easy.  We suggest that you design your file at a reduced percentage of its final size. We can then digitally enlarge your file so you final print is imaged at your requested size. For example, if your final size is 24" x 36", create your file at 6" x 9" (1/4 size), 8" x 12" (1/3 size) or 12" x 18" (1/2 size).

I have color scans in my file.  What DPI do I use?

For files at actual size, scan your files at 175 dpi.
For files imaged at 200% enlargement, scan your files at 200 dpi.
For files imaged at 300% enlargement, scan your files at 300 dpi.
For files imaged at 400% enlargement, scan your files at 400 dpi.

Can you run a sample banner for me?

Reduced size samples are $35 on matte, gloss paper or banner vinyl. However, if you order a poster imaged from the same file as your sample within 30 days, we'll credit the full amount of your sample against your final invoice. If you would simply like to see our print quality, preprinted samples are free by request.

How can I hang my banner?

We can add brass or nickel finish grommets or pole pockets for hanging.

What else do I need to know?

Always provide a proof (black and white print or PDF file will do) so we can review the finished piece against your original and verify that it is imaged correctly.
