General

• Maximum single image size 35½” x 120”. More coverage is possible with multiple images when there is clear area between images. See DecoTherm Quality Specification for details.
• Maximum glass size 54” x 120”
• Line weight minimum is 1 pt.
• Minimum San Serif Type 10 pt.
• Minimum Serif Type 12 pt.
• Convert all fonts to Outlines, or Curves.
• Text intensive files (ie. Donor Boards) should be submitted as vector files to obtain best results.
• Areas with lots of small detail reproduce best as reverse images where the detail is clear glass.

Color

• Up to 3 colors per image
• Colors should not touch. Keep a 1/16” gap between colors to minimize registration and trapping issues.
• Touching colors will most likely exhibit broken edges, show gaps or dark halos

**Please contact your DecoTherm supplier if you have any questions about design or file preparation. Following these guidelines minimizes chance of incurring additional art charges.**

Halftones

• DecoTherm images are printed at 400dpi with a 60 line screen – Areas of tint or shade will be printed as dots.
• Bold, graphic, high-contrast vector images reproduce best.
• Lightest halftone in large flat areas should be no less than a 20% tint or dot.
• Darkest halftone in large flat areas should be no more than an 80% dot.
• When using halftones, keep as much contrast between tints as possible. When creating vector images with a full tonal range, tints should be 15% to 20% apart (ie. 100%, 80%, 60%, 40%, 20%).

Photography

• Images can be printed as positives (color = shadows) or negatives (color = highlights).
• It is best to view a sample at the desired location and determine the proper output.
