FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Can you match colors?
Yes, we match your colors when requested and do a pretty good job most of the time. It is possible your printed color may be a shade off. If a color is critical, you should provide a PMS color (labeled c in a PMS fan deck for coated) and we will do the best we can to match it. Note that matching colors can add time to the production process. When you view your proof you cannot rely on a screen to give an exact rendition of the color.

What kinds of files do you accept?
Artwork Format, Sending Files: For production purposes, we like Adobe Illustrator (AI), EPS and PDF files. We can also use GIFS, PNGS and JPEGS, but print quality can degrade. When sending files, please convert all fonts to outlines/graphics. If possible, please send an additional jpeg file for viewing. You are responsible for the quality of the artwork you send and that it is suitable for the intended use. Keep in mind your art may be enlarged to fit the product we are putting it on.
You can upload art on many of the product pages. You can email artwork to reachus@samedaysign.net when files are less than 9 megs. Use a service, like Dropbox for larger files.
What resolution does my file need to be?
This varies according to the type and size of the product you are ordering. We recommend 300 dpi or higher at actual size for smaller prints and 150 dpi at actual size for general large format prints. If you are uploading a logo or art you can enlarge it (or a portion of it) on your screen to the approximate size it will be printed at to see how is will look.
