Design and Images
Resolution
Supply all files in RGB (or CMYK), image resolution 300 dpi.  Files taken directly off the internet (which have a resolution of 72 dpi) cannot be used due to the low quality of print reproduction.

Design
Installed ads are mounted under plexiglass in a wood frame.  These are mini-billboard ads and should be designed accordingly – clean, eye-catching design with a minimum amount of text. Use larger font size for text you want to emphasize.

Font
Please include all font files used OR convert text to paths (outlines) and save a copy.

Client-supplied materials will be returned if requested.

Supported Formats
• MAC or PC
• Adobe Creative Suite CS3 (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop)
• Freehand MX & CorelDRAW X3 also available
• Image File Types: .tif, .bmp, .jpg, .zip, .pdf, .eps

We prefer high-res PDF or JPEG files.  However, we will not be able to edit the text in these files.

Delivery Methods
You can email electronic files directly to lisa@primewest.com.

In addition, we accept CD, DVD, USB Drive or FTP site upload (please call or e-mail for site & password information).
