GRAPHIC TIPS
PHOTOSHOP USERS
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 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?
Since your banner 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.
