Recommended file settings

These are basic file setting recommendation, but don't worry we can always help you and we always ensure your art work gets printed to the best quality.

Vector
You are best off saving vector artwork (the sort of stuff from Illustrator) as an EPS, PDF or AI file. Even at 300dpi the TIFF and JPG don't handle this vector graphic nearly so well. 

Bitmaps
TIFFs and PSDs are lossless. You don't lose any quality by saving a file as a TIFF or PSD. JPEGs normally lose quality when you save them but take up a lot less space. A TIFF or PSD is normally a better option than a JPEG. JPEGs can't handle spot colours. So when this JPEG was saved it converted the Pantone colour into a CMYK value. Also, the white space in between the red lines on the JPEG is filled with a very subtle yellow/grey tint. This is due to the compression.
