DIGITAL PHOTOS
Photos taken with a digital camera with an 8 megapixel or higher capacity are preferred. For Example: An 8 megapixel camera can generate a photo that can be printed up to 48" x 64" at 50 dpi.
SAVING FILES
- Files can be saved as either an EPS or TIFF file. Sending a copy of the layered Photoshop file of complex images is also an excellent idea.
- To achieve the highest print quality, set any copy that overlays a Photoshop Image in Illustrator and convert the copy to paths.
- ALL ELECTRONIC FILES SHOULD BE ACCOMPANIED BY A COMPOSITE JPG.
