I'm not sure if I missed it in this thread, but have you had the chance to do measurements and see what impact the printed cloth has on the performance of the panels?
No but there is no need. DYE Sub printing prints right on the fibers so it will not change the fabric. That's is one of the nice parts and the quality it SUPER HIGH QUALITY. The press (or should I say printer) that is used is called Teleios d-gen, which is not your office printer, but a $800,000 MONSTER!!!
Ok here are the guidelines to supplying the art.
EPS*, PDF*, TIF, JPG are considered “print ready” files and require little, if any modifications in pre-flight before the file is printed.
Supplying “print ready” file formats will insure that your project will be printed the way it was intended on a normal-to-quick-turn-around basis.
* EPS and PDF files MUST have all text converted to outlines/curves. If converting text to outlines/curves
is not possible through your design software, you MUST supply all the printer fonts used in the design.
ADDITIONAL DESIGN GUIDELINES & NOTES
FOR YOUR “print ready” DESIGNS:
SIZE: the size of the design needs to be proportional to the final print size. It is always recommended to design your large format
files at a reduced scale of 1/20, 1/10, 1/8, 1/4, or 1/2. Designing at full size is okay but may result in a larger file which doesn’t
necessarily result in a better quality print… just more disk space.
RESOLUTION: resolution only pertains to placed images within a file’s design. Vector based art, can be enlarged to any size
without diminishing its final print quality. The resolution of any placed images within a design should fall within 85-150 dpi at final
print size. Posters and medium size prints that contain smaller text (below 24pts.) within a flat image file should be above the
150dpi range to insure legibility.
TIF: tif images the most compatible cross-platform “print ready” file type. As a tif file, the design software has already placed each
pixel in its appropriate location for the printer. A high resolution tif file is the failsafe way for supplying your documents to us to
print. Although quite large, they are to be considered as print ready as you can get. When saving a high resolution flat TIF file, do
not utilize LZW or similar compression. Both RGB or CMYK files are accepted.
Let me know if you have any questions.
