Acceptable Files:  

 

 

 

 

We only accept photoshop and pdf files.  Please follow these instructions.

 

Download templates    Whether you use our templates or you create your own document, please make sure the dimension of your file is the exact size of the finished size.

 

Image Resolution

Photos and graphics need to be 125 DPI at full size.  

In Photoshop, you can go to IMAGE ->  IMAGE SIZE to find out your file resolution.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Determine Image Quality from Source

 

Good Quality:

High resolution / high quality stock photography 

High resolution / high quality scanner

 

Low Quality:

Screen capture of video frame

Low resolution / low quality stock photography 

Image lifted off a web-page

 

Why 125 DPI?

Your image and all images in the graphic display need to be a minimum of 125 DPI.  Since your display will be a large format print, you don't need to prepare your file in 300 DPI which is usually used for smaller format print.   If you are uncertain of the quality of your images, please call us at 416-808-4996 or email us at info@exhibitcentral.ca

 

Color Mode

Your file has to be in CMYK mode.

In Photoshop go to IMAGE -> MODE -> CMYK

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saving

When you are done with the design, save the design (in photoshop), then flatten all the layers and save as a pdf file.  

 

You are almost done!

Before you upload the file(s) to us, view your graphic in actual pixel view. VIEW -> ACTUAL PIXEL

Review the entire graphic carefully, especially your logo and photos if any, to make sure it looks good to you. Because what you see in the actual pixel view is very close to what you will get on your trade show display.   If you are satisfied with what you see, please UPLOAD FILES with your contact and order information.  

 

NOTE - It is imperative that you use high quality images when designing your graphic for the wall of your booth display.  We do not guarantee the graphic portion of the booth, since we are not designing it.
