Colour Calibrating - Sign Print Stitch can match any colour you need. Simply supply us with the PMS colour or a CMYK or RGB colour breakup, we will do the rest.

Resolution- essentially resolution refers to clarity of an image. You will see the resolution represented on your photos and images by either the number of pixels or size of the file. As a rule of thumb, the higher the number the higher the resolution. For professional/commercial printing and signage we require the highest resolution possible for the best outcome. If you start with a low resolution image, say a logo, by the time we enlarge it for use on say a sign, it will lose clarity, appear out of focus and in some cases pixelated.

PDF – stands for portable document format. It is a global standard for converting documents into a format which can be easily shared. It is intended for documents rather than imagery. Some PDF files cannot be altered

PSD - Is a Photoshop file format, if your artwork is created in multiple layers, fonts and masks, this file will help us to understand how you'll want your file reproduced accurately

Ai - Much like an eps file ai is the file format of Adobe Illustrator. Like EPS it uses the vector format, so if you want your artwork scaled up in size it is no problem with an ai vector file.

EPS – this is an image/graphics file format which is usually created from original artwork by the designer, for commercial printing and signage use. You require special software to open EPS files and most general computer software systems such as MS, do not allow you to open these files. Usually your designer will also provide you with Jpeg or TIFF files which you can open to view the graphics. While you may not be able to open an EPS file, you can save it into your system and email as an attachment to us so we can produce your work.
