*Photoshop and Illustrator are preferred, as they are more suitable applications for large format printing. Quark files may cause fragmented text or gradients. If this occurs, art time will be charged to fix the files. We recommend that you export all files as an "eps" and convert all fonts to outlines.

Resolution

Murals
- Files must be built as one image. Be aware of panel breaks and try to minimize the amount of text that crosses over panels.
- Do not use Quark for murals, use Illustrator or Photoshop.
-Illustrator special effects that mimic Photoshop effects, such as glows, transparencies or drop shadows are not supported for mural output.

Color
-All files must be CMYK
-Provide hardcopy layouts on all graphics.
-If Pantone colours are used, please indicate on hard copy.
- Any critical colours pertaining to logos or corporate identity should be called out as Pantone coated or uncoated.
