Fonts:
- Ensure that all fonts specific to your job are included or "suitcased". This includes both screen and printer fonts or any OpenType fonts as well

- For CorelDraw files, please convert all fonts into curves and save as an Adobe Illustrator AI, EPS file format.
Layout:
- Files should be setup using a page layout program (QuarkXpress or InDesign). The page size should be setup at an intermediate size that can be enlarged proportionately. An example, 12" x 18" original page size, can be enlarged 300% for an output size of 36" x 54".
- If your output requires bleed, please ensure it is added where required. We cannot assume responsibility if information is lost in the trimming process if this is not taken into consideration.
- Your file should be saved in one of the following formats: PS(PostScript), EPS (encapsulated PostScript), TIFF, PDF.
Disk Media Supported:
- DVD, CD's or can be uploaded to our ftp site.
- If you wish to use our ftp site, please compress your files with WinZip(for those on the PC platform) or Stuffit (if your on a MAC platform). Please call for ftp uploads.
Scanned Images:
- For most images, scanning at a resolution of 150dpi, at full size will yield suitable results. For fine art please use 300dpi.
- Scan images in RGB mode before converting to CMYK for optimal color depth.
- Save images as PhotoShop, EPS, or TIFF formats.
Color Matching:
- Please provide either an IRIS, 3M Rainbow, any dye-sublimation or color calibrated laser proofing device with an Adobe compliant postscript interpreter (RIP). Desktop inkjet prints are not acceptable as color proofs! Due to differences in ink and media used by other printing processes, we do not recommend matching to printed material or stock. Color matching must be done on media to be used.
- If YouHuge has printed a graphic for you in the past and you need to match the color to that specific graphic, we require that you send the printed graphic back to us to match, due to the sensitive nature and many variables related to large format digital printing . We cannot guarantee a color match based solely on information imbedded in a digital file.
