For Fabric Prints: How do I get the smoothest gradient?
	Our equipment prints out the smoothest gradients when the gradients are created in Photoshop, and not in Illustrator. Why? Illustrator is a vector based program and does not raster the gradient the same way that Photoshop does. Illustrator will create "steps" in the gradient that look like lines in the final print. For the smoothest gradients, use Photoshop to create the gradients and then either import the gradient to Illustrator or simply design the entire artwork within Photoshop. Below are some samples of a Photoshop image vs the Illustrator image AI Gradient PS Gradient

What is PMS color matching?
	If there is a particular color in your artwork that you need to get an exact match of when we print, we suggest that you proceed with color matching. The price is $45 per color for vinyl prints and $120 per color for fabric prints. You would need to provide us the Pantone color. We will then print that color out in several shades and send you the physical proofs. You can select the proof that best matches the Pantone color in your artwork.
What size does my graphic need to be for a specific stand?
	Please follow the artwork dimensions provided in our Template. You can find the template for each product underneath the description box. It is in an orange button. If a template is not available for a particular item, please follow the art dimensions provided in the description box. For example, for the stand PDE03P (33" retractable roll up banner stand), your graphic size needs to be 33"(w) x 78"(h). You can also find templates on our template page by clicking here.
How much of the artwork is viewable?
	On most of our retractable banner stands, only half an inch to an inch is covered on the top and bottom. With our adjustable retractable banner stands, you can pull up as much as you want to show. So if you pull up too high and show the banner stand leader, it can be lowered before the pole is locked.
