Graphic Tips
Photoshop Users
Templates are available to download under the product descriptions.
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 and the starting resolution is at least 125 DPI.
Image Resolution
**Photos and graphics must be AT LEAST 125 DPI at FULL SIZE** Diers is not responsible for any discrepancies in the product if the files were not submitted within our requirement guidelines.
If you have any questions on how to configure your images and graphics to 125 and/or 300 DPI, please contact our design specialist.
Below are the steps to making your images 125 DPI.
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
High and Low resolution difference
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, however, if you’re image is 300 DPI that is perfectly fine.
If you are uncertain of the quality of your images, please call us at 877-924-0111 or email us at info@diersexhibitgroup.com
Color Mode
Your file has to be in CMYK mode.
IMAGE -> MODE -> CMYK

Saving
When you are done with the design, flatten all the layers, then save as .TIF.
If you need our graphic designers to modify your art work, don’t flatten layers but convert all text to shapes.
(Graphic modification – $85 per hour. Please call for estimated time.)
LAYER -> TYPE -> CONVERT TO SHAPE
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 banner(s).

Image Resolution
Your images (any graphics that are not vector) need to be at least 125 DPI at FULL SIZE. If your entire graphic was created in Illustrator and contains no outside images, then the graphic will be vectors and will not be required to be configured to 125 DPI as they are built as scalable vectors. Contact our design specialist if you have questions regarding wether or not your graphic needs to be reconfigured.
