File Types & Formats are the key to any printing services

---

At the end of your file name your computer can display what type of file it is. You can also see this by right clicking on the file and selecting properties. These are the extensions that explain the different types of files.

• ANI, ANIM, APNG, ART, BMP, BSAVE, CAL, CIN, CPC, CPT, DPX, ECW, EXR, FITS, FLIC, FPX, GIF, HDRi, HEVC, ICER, ICNS, ICO / CUR, ICS, ILBM, JBIG, JBIG2, JNG, JPEG, JPEG 2000, JPEG-LS, JPEG, XR, MNG, MIFF, NRRD, PAM, PBM / PGM / PPM / PNM, PCX, PGF, PICtor, PNG, PSD / PSB, PSP, QTVR, RAS, RBE, JPEG-HDR, Logluv, TIFF, SGI, TGA, TIFF, TIFF/EP, TIFF/IT, WBMP, WebP, XBM, XCF, XPM, XWD

• AI, CDR, CGM, DXF, EVA, EMF, Gerber, HVIF, IGES, PGML, SVG, VML, WMF, Xar

• CDF, DjVu, EPS, PDF, PICT, PS, SWF, XAML

OK, that’s great but what type of file do we want? Generally speaking .EPS will work most of the time if the file was created as a vector, .AI and .DXF will work as well.

If we are printing a small banner or sign a .JPG or .BMP will work fine. You will need your file to have a decent resolution size (a pic from the internet is usually to low of res). Low res blown up will result in an unclear print, see the VS. pic above. Just remember that we wont be able to cut your logo as vinyl with this type of file without an additional art charge.

Our art charges run at $50.00/hour so getting a vector logo from your original designer can save you a substantial amount of money
