Artwork Guidelines

  • File Formats

    Please send us the highest quality resolution file you have, preferably one that is 300 dpi and is a vector image so it can be scaled.

    The best format is PDF. Before exporting your file as a PDF, convert all text to outlines and embed all images.

    If you are not able to generate a "High Quality Print" PDF, we accept the following software generated file formats.

    Photoshop .PSD Include all layers, paths, channels, links and fonts.
    Illustrator .AI or Illustrator.EPS files.

    Convert text to outlines and please embed images.

    Canva Files - we have a Canva account so please share your file with us using the email print@wildbeaverprintshop.com

    We do not recommend .JPG or .PNG files for items that containe important text because these files will often create text that is jagged in appearance.

  • Color

    All colors must be defined in CMYK. If converted from RGB to CMYK significant color changes can occur, please proof your colors prior to submission.

    Pantone Spot Colors may be requested, but exact color matches are not always possible depending upon the media and print processes available.

    Reference printouts will be considered for layout only, not as actual color reference. If a color layout can not be sent, include a .jpg, .pdf (screen optimized) or screen shot file. Clearly mark filename as"proof".

    For black use (Process Black).
