Print-ready files made in Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint or Publisher are not accepted<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>5. If you need colors to match the original<\/strong>\u00a0 you must provide a color swatch sample from the actual material. Colors cannot be matched to a screen or to CMYK or RGB color formulas<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Image resolution and file size<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Image resolution is determined by the file size in megabytes; higher-resolution images have larger files in proportion to their resolution. Images should be the following sizes (if possible)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">25 MB per square meter   -&gt;  meaning that if an image is enlarged to a print size of 1 square meter, the image file should be 25 MB<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">If the image is enlarged to a print size of 2 square meters, the image should be 100 MB<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The most important factor for a sharp print is the sharpness of the original image. If the image was taken with a high-quality camera, the print will be as sharp as the original. If the original is low quality, the print will be equally low quality\u00a0 <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Upscaling raster images such as TIFF, JPG, PNG, etc. in Photoshop will not make them any sharper or better, and should never be done, as it will reduce quality<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 Therefore, the original image should be a TIFF file taken directly from the RAW file of a high-quality camera, or from scanning photos and slides with a high-quality scanner<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Image resolution should be increased from the camera's RAW file, by enlarging the RAW file in Photoshop, Lightroom or another program that can enlarge images from RAW files, to reach the required print file resolution of 25MB\/square meter. If the image comes from scanning photos or slides, scan them with a high-quality scanner at the required resolution of 25MB\/square meter<\/p>\n<p><strong>7.
