Production rules that apply to almost every format

  • Keep type, logo and claim inside the safe area. Near the edge, the frame or the paste joint can cut them off.
  • No type smaller than 1/100 of the viewing distance. At 30 m that means a cap height of at least 30 cm.
  • Work in CMYK with the profile the media owner names, usually ISO Coated v2 or PSO Uncoated. Use RGB images and spot colours only when agreed.
  • Images for large formats need at least 30 dpi at final size. In a 1:10 file that is 300 dpi.
  • Embed your fonts or convert them to outlines. PDF/X-4 is the safe choice.
  • On backlit formats, take contrast and colour density down a notch, because the light from behind brightens everything.
