Production Requirements

Sizing your image

Bay Area Billboards Advertising Vehicles feature:
Side Windows - 10’ x 6’ (120” x 72”)
Rear Windows - 6’ x 6’ (72” x 72”)
Art needs to be submitted to the printer at exactly 10% of finished size:
Side Window: 12” Wide x 7.2” Tall - 500dpi resolution
Rear Window: 7.2” Wide x 7.2” Tall - 500dpi resolution

Resolution
Art supplied to the printer needs to be at 500 DPI at 10% so that when they increase the size to 100% the final art will be at 50 DPI.

DIGITAL BLACK
To simply create digital black in a new file, choose a CMYK mix of 50, 45, 35, 100.
Please note that when artwork is submitted that contains a color that needs to print as a true black hue, there is a special mix that should be used. Please use C 50, M 45, Y 35, K 100. This will ensure that a black color will print as our truest and richest black that is achievable on our digital print press. When converting colors in an Adobe Photoshop document be sure to NOT use the selection wand- this will miss any pixels that have a different property then the selected pixel. Instead, please use black in the selective color, set your darkest mix value as your "black" and then adjust the values until they match the 50,45,35,100 mix.

Naming your file

When you have completed your art, save the file as a .jpg at 500 dpi.
Do not include the words "logo," "text" or "banner" in the name of the art file because these words can cause a conflict with our system.
Your file name must be less than 22 characters with no spaces.

Convert your image to one of the following file formats: .jpg
Our system accepts .jpg formats. If your image already exists in .jpg formats, it can be sized appropriately and uploaded. If your image exists in another file format, use an image editing program like Photoshop LE or PhotoDeluxe to convert the file into .jpg format by "Saving As" a .jpg file. Simply renaming the file with .jpg will not convert your image into a .jpg file format. Refer to your image editing software help for more information on converting image files into .jpg format.
JPEG (.jpg) - use this file format for photographs (color or b/w) and other full-color or gray-shade images. Most programs let you select different compression levels when you save an image as a .jpg. You will want to select level 9 or 10 or high unless you will be using the image on a very small banner. JPGs are always stored as either 24-bit color or 8-bit grayscale: for best results, do not set your scanner to fewer colors. Also, be sure to check your Color Mode. We will print your image in CMYK mode, so if you can send us the file in CMYK mode, that is ideal. If your image is in another mode, such as RGB, indexed color, or grayscale mode, we recommend that you convert it to CMYK mode. When you make this conversion, a slight color shift will occur, and you may want to adjust your image accordingly. If you send us a file in any mode other than CMYK, we will perform the color shift, and this may adjust the look of your image.
