You are here: Home > INFO > Artwork Specification

To minimise set-up time and costs for custom decal designs please try to ensure that your artwork conforms to the following specifications.

Our preferred two file formats are:

Adobe Photoshop (.PSD)

  • 600dpi resolution
  • artwork drawn at actual size
  • CMYK colour space
  • each colour on a separate layer (for designs to be printed in spot- or metallic-colours)
  • all text smooth and rasterised

Adobe Illustrator (.AI) or PDF (.PDF)

  • all artwork drawn as vector paths
  • all text converted to outlines

If neither of these are possible please send the artwork as a JPEG or BMP image file. Designs sent in these formats may incur additional set-up costs as it may be necessary for us to redraw the artwork prior to printing the decals.

When sending artwork please always confirm the final dimensions of the decal design (max. width x max. height).

Unfortunately we cannot currently accept Corel Draw files. Please save them as .eps vector files instead, with all text converted to outlines.

Artwork can be e-mailed to us on artwork@rothkoandfrost.co.uk
