| − | === <sub><b>Size and Dimensions</b> ===
| |
| − | * Open the file in Photoshop, click on "Image" in the top menu bar and select "Image Size..."
| |
| − | * A new window will open showing the height and width of the image
| |
| − | * Next to those dimensions will be the type of measurement being used, typically this is set to either pixels or inches
| |
| − | * If the dimensions are in pixels, change it to inches
| |
| − | * Ensure those dimensions are correct for how large you want the file printed
| |
| − | * In addition, ensure the "Resolution" is set to at least 200 (but no more than 300) for the best quality print
| |
| − | === <sub><b>Color Profile</b> ===
| |
| − | * For the most accurate color reproduction, it is important to set what is called a color profile in your image(s)
| |
| − | * Color profiles enable the printer to match what you see on your screen as close as possible
| |
| − | * For Photoshop, you'll want to use the "sRGB IEC61966-2.1" profile
| |
| − | ** For new images, you can select the profile from the New Document screen
| |
| − | ** For existing images, or to simply check, click on "Edit > Assign Profile..." and then view or choose from the list
| |
| − | * For Illustrator, you'll want to use the "sRGB IEC61966-2.1" profile as well
| |
| − | ** For new images, in the new document screen, select "RGB Color" for the Color Mode, and it should default to the correct one
| |
| − | ** For existing images, or to simply check, click on "Edit > Assign Profile..." and then view or choose from the list
| |
| − | * To learn more about color profiles and how they work check out these videos

| − | === <sub><b>File Formats</b> ===
| |
| − | * The printing software the school uses is very particular to what types of files it can print
| |
| − | * Currently the only supported formats are JPG (JPEG), TIFF, and PDF
| |
| − | ** You can read about different types of image formats at https://99designs.com/blog/tips/image-file-types/
| |
| − | * You should only submit flattened, or layer-less, versions of these files as well (jpg's are automatically flat)
| |
| − | * To flatten a file, open it in Photoshop and go to "File" and choose "Save As..."
| |
| − | * Choose the file type you want to save the image as, but also <b>uncheck</b> the "Layers" box
| |
| − | * Name and save it to create a flattened file
| |
| − | * Flat files ensure all elements in your file, such as special fonts, will be included in the print
| |
| − | === <sub><b>File Naming</b> ===
| |
| − | * It is imperative you include your name in the file before submitting it to Media Services
| |
| − | * Large format prints are manually charged to your Papercut account, and we won't print a file if we can't charge an account
| |
| − | ** For instance, if you submit a file called "Image001.pdf", we can't determine who submitted that file, and it won't be printed
| |
| − | ** However, if you submit a file called "Barnaby Jones Project 1.pdf", we know who to charge and will print that as soon as possible
| |
| − | * If you have multiple prints, you can save time by simply putting all of them in one folder with your name, instead of naming each one, and then submitting that
