How to Save Your Files for Large Format Printing

To ensure the best print results on posters, mounted prints, foam board, coroplast, and rigid sign products, follow these file setup guidelines when preparing your artwork:

File Setup Checklist

Resolution: 150-300 dpi at final size
Bleed: 1/8 inch (.125 inch) on all sides if artwork runs to edge
Color Mode: CMYK preferred
File Format: High-resolution PDF or JPG

Important Notes

• Files must be built at final trim size plus bleed if needed
• Extend background colors or images .125 inch past the trim edge to avoid white borders
• Keep important text at least .25 inch inside the trim edge
• Large format files are often rasterized during production - high-resolution JPG files are acceptable
• RGB files will be converted to CMYK and slight color shifts may occur
• Turn off compression or downsampling when exporting to preserve image quality

How to Export a High-Resolution File

InDesign / Illustrator

Build document at final size plus .125 inch bleed if needed
File > Export
Choose Adobe PDF (Print)
Select Press Quality or High Quality preset
Under Marks and Bleeds: Use Document Bleed Settings (.125 inch)
Click Export

Photoshop

Set document to final size at 150-300 dpi
Add .125 inch to each side if bleed is required
File > Save As
Choose JPEG (Maximum Quality) or PDF
Click Save

Why This Matters

Large format prints are viewed from a greater distance, but they still require high-resolution artwork to look sharp and professional. Proper bleed and file setup prevent unwanted white edges and production delays. If you have any questions, call 877-613-1913 - we are here to help.
