How your Word file may reduce setup expense:

For Wide-Format Digital Printing, your file can sometimes print as is, with no additional design time. However, Word does not permit a document size larger than 22 inches. Consequently, file conversion is usually necessary.

For Thermal Digital Printing and signs with a lot of copy, we can copy & paste the document's text into our vinyl-printing software. This will save you the expense of our staff hand-typing the copy, as well as reducing the risk of typos.

Please follow the checklist below to minimize extra setup expense.

 


Pre-Flight Checklist:

Specific instructions for making your file suit our equipment.

1. Verify that we have the needed fonts

2. Provide inserted files separately

Not all file formats include copies of themselves when placed.
Placed images should be about 150 dpi at final output size.

3. Save as version 97 or earlier

HOW: Choose File > Save As... In the Save As dialog choose a suitable version in the Save as type: drop-down.

4. Provide a printout of the design

Or provide a .pdf or .jpg so we can verify that your Word file opened correctly.
