How to Prepare Your File

File Type
FireSprint only accepts PDF files no larger than 150mb each.
FireSprint does not utilize or work with .jpg, .png, .ai, .psd, .tiff or any other file formats.

Color Space
PDFs must be submitted in the CMYK color space.
FireSprint cannot maintain accurate color with both CMYK and RGB color spaces included in a file.

Spot Colors
Spot colors should be named with the correct Pantone color code.
Example: Pantone 295 c

Images
Images must be:
• Embedded at final size
• Minimum resolution of 100ppi at the final size

Fonts
▎Digital Rigid Printing
Minimum type size of 10pt for positive type and 14pt for reverse type

▎Screen Printing
Minimum type size of 10pt for positive type and 14pt for reverse type

▎Vinyl Roll & Sticker Printing

Line Widths

If the reverse has to trap, the trap width must have a minimum of 5pt width

▎Vinyl Roll & Sticker Printing
Minimum of 0.5pt for positive line widths and 0.5pt for reverse line widths

▎Large Format Banners

Bleed
▎Auto-Generated Bleed
Bleed will be auto-generated for artwork that touches the edge of the sheet for all products. Do not include in file.

▎If File Already Has Bleed
If uploading a file with bleed, you’ll need to crop or skew the image in the uploader and will be prompted to do so.
If possible, we recommend re-uploading the file without bleed.

Contour Cuts
• For contour cuts on substrates thicker than 1/8” (.125), all inside cuts will require 3/8” or 0.375 radius.
• No contour cuts apply to 10mm Coroplast.
• FireSprint reserves the right to simplify overly complex contour cut paths to maximize the quality of the final product.
• Proofs are required to be sent for approval for altered cut paths at no additional cost.
• Borders at the edge of double-sided signs must be 3/8” or thicker not including bleed.
