Here are the key steps for preparing images:

  • Sizing: Ensure your image is set to its final print size at the desired resolution (typically 100 DPI).
  • Color Mode: Use CMYK color mode, not RGB, as this is the standard for large format printing.
  • File Format: Save your file as a high-quality PDF, TIFF, or JPEG for best results.
  • Bleed: Add extra space around your image to allow for cutting, usually around 0.125″ – 0.25″.
