Graphics/Signage Production Specs

This document details the specifications for graphics submitted to Triumph Expo & Events, Inc. by our clients. Any files that do not conform to the specifications described below will incur additional fees beyond the current pricing shown in our exhibitor kits. Any in-house work that is needed to ready provided files to a print ready state will be billed out at $70.00 per hour with a half-hour minimum.

Any files that must be opened in their native application and exported to the required file types described below do not conform to this specification.

FILE TYPES
Digital files (logos, photos, etc.) should be saved or exported from your design application to PDF, EPS, or TIFF with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi at a size of 8" x 10". The higher the resolution provided, the better the results. JPEG’Äôs can be accepted if the resolution is 300 dpi or above. Placed images are to be embedded rather than linked. If files are linked, be sure to send along the linked files. Do not submit GIF files, Word (.doc) files, PowerPoint (.ppt) files, or any file formatted for or taken from a website. Web graphics are not suited for large format printing. This is a very common error and should be avoided.

PAGE LAYOUT / IMAGE SIZE
Image should be cropped and scaled to intended print size or to a percentage of print size (no less than 25%). Remove non-printing borders. Final resolution should be no less than 100dpi at FINAL print size. Image should be flattened - no layers and/or transparent objects. Color halftone images should be submitted in CMYK color mode. Native Files* can be sent along if any changes or additions are anticipated during the course of the install of the show, but these should not be considered as the primary print files.

FONTS
All fonts should be converted to outlines or paths. Send font files so that any changes or additions can be made.

PROOFING
A clean hardcopy proof and a PDF proof should be sent along with the print files for reference. Files provided without proofs will be printed as is without correction applied. Any re-prints necessary due to above specs not being followed are done at additional cost to the client. Direct any questions to: tony.yaranon@triumphexpo.com or at 877.607.1010.

SENDING FILES
Files can be sent on CD-ROM or DVD or posted to an FTP site. If you don’Äôt have an FTP site, you can post your files to the Triumph Expo & Events FTP site. Contact your Exhibits Service Representative for FTP information. Smaller files (-5MB) can be emailed to tony.yaranon@triumphexpo.com.
