Have a look at this site : http://www.ababanners.co.uk/48_96_info.htm To quote from the site: �� Photoshop�� Any Photoshop compatible files, .tiff .eps etc, while .jpg files files to be saved at maximum quality. �� SCANS For optimum image quality, we can scan your transparencies on our high resolution scanner and place these files into your artwork. However, if you supply scans on disk, these must be in CYMK .tif .eps or .jpg formats. The resolution and size for you scans should be 300dpi at 10%. The site, like most poster producers, does not help with colour management, we have just produced a campaign with 6sheet, 48 sheet, and 96 sheet posters. The agency production department requested files as Euroscale coated v2, we supplied this with aim prints and digital proofs. This is the area that lets the whole process down, I am sure we could have provided the files with a more realistic profile, however if my client is specific, then all I can do is provide what they request. At the end of the day the posters are a good match to the proofs, everyone is happy. hope this is of some help matthew barlow =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
