Important
- A flash drive with your design saved as a PDF file. (we are able to convert your file to a PDF if needed)
- You may also email your design to imagine@champaigncountylibrary.org ; however, you will need to be present to print your project.
- You are required to design your project for printing. (see the files below about designing a basic banner in Publisher and the basics of Banner Design) Canva.com is a free website you can use to design your project (see video and handout below).
- When we talk about banners, you can apply the information to any project whether it be a poster, photograph, etc.
- Picture files should be at least 300 dpi; however, the larger the file size the better.
- Media available at this time: vinyl banner 30", 38" and 54"; poster paper 30", removable sticker 54", permanent sticker 24" and 30", art canvas 30", ultra-removable wall sticker 54", and clear window cling 30"
- The printable area is approximately 2 inches less than the roll size. When choosing the size of the design, use the printable area, not the size of the material.
- There will always be approximately 1-2 inch margin around the print job, it will not print edge to edge.
- Patrons are responsible for trimming the media and adding grommets or hem tape.
- If you are interested in cutting vinyl for projects such as stickers, you will need to use Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw to add cut lines to your project.
- For more information on cutlines, please watch the following videos: Setting up cutlines for Versaworks and Troubleshooting Cutlines. Another helpful video: Creating Cutline to raster image for Roland
