  • File presentation for popup printing

    Posted by Jeremy Howes on 31 October 2009 at 08:51

    Hello,
    I am looking for advice on how best to send artwork to a trade printer for best results.

    I have designed artwork for a pop up banner measuring 2100 x 1500 full size in Illustrator, and the file size ended up at 178 mb, what is the accepted method of sending the artwork to the printer? he has asked for a pdf at half size, what image settings would you suggest I use in Photo shop to reduce the overall size of my design without losing fine detail?.
    Also at what dpi should I specify the job be printed at.

    I’d appreciate any help.

    Many thanks for looking

    Jeremy

    To be honest nowadays we would expect to see the 175Mb file sent via you send it or another similar file sending program, most people have a reasonably fast connection and it is as quick to send it like this rather than mess about with sizes.

    Kind regards

    Russell.

    a nice way also and you can incorporate theyre software into the OS. You got 2 GB of space i think and its very easy to use.
