Vinyl Graphic Specs
Setting up for vinyl graphics is a little different to the setup procedures
of digital printing.
Computer cut vinyl graphics and digital die cutting require a vectorised line
for the precision digital cutters to follow.

Suitable files formats are
-
Adobe Illustrator (*.ai )
-
Encapsulated Postscript (*.eps)
-
Macromedia Freehand (*.fh11)
-
Cadlink Signlab (*.cdl)
-
Corel Draw (*cdr)
-
Adobe Acrobat (*pdf)
|
We have import facility on many other graphic formats please check with us
on file suitability.
With most vectorised files we are required to import these files into specialist
sign production software so it is important to provide us with a colour visual
so we can check no details have been lost during the importing process.
