Question
What file format should I use for vinyl printing?
Answer
Vinyl prints best from clean vector or high-resolution files. A consistent setup keeps large-format graphics crisp and your text safely inside the trim.
| Setting | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| File format | high-resolution PDF, AI, or EPS |
| Color mode | CMYK |
| Resolution | 150 DPI large format, 300 DPI small pieces |
| Bleed | 0.125 inch on all sides |
| Text safety | keep at least 0.25 inch from the trim edge |
Vector artwork scales without any loss, so it is the safest starting point for big banners and signs.
