How do I submit artwork or files?
Most people choose to send their artwork(in ai./cdr./eps./pdf./tif./gif./bmp.) to us at info@acmegraphic.com.
What is the best format for artwork?
Vector format(AI file, EPS file, or CDR file )is the best type for us because of its ability to be scaled and reproduced without losing the quality of the image. But if vector format artwork is not available, a high-resolution PDF file will also work.
Additionally, colors should be specified as CMYK, PMS, or Pantone

Please send artwork with 150 dpi, or a one-inch to one-foot ratio.

Color management is making sure the colors you have on your logo, image, or design will match the way they are printed in our studio. We use CMYK, PMS, and Pantone colors to make sure that we are consistent with what you see and what gets applied to your vehicle.
