- GoMobile Alliance
Advertising Vehicles feature:
Side Windows - 10 x 6 (120 x 72)
Rear Windows - 6 x 6 (72 x 72)
- Art needs to be
submitted to the printer at exactly 10% of finished
size:
Side Window: 12 Wide x 7.2 Tall - 500dpi
resolution
Rear Window: 7.2 Wide x 7.2 Tall - 500dpi
resolution
- Art supplied to the printer needs to be at 500
DPI at 10% so that when they increase the size to 100%
the final art will be at 50 DPI.
To simply create digital black in a new file,
choose a CMYK mix of 50, 45, 35, 100.
Please note that when artwork is submitted that contains
a color that needs to print as a true black hue, there
is a special mix that should be used. Please use C 50, M
45, Y 35, K 100. This will ensure that a black color
will print as our truest and richest black that is
achievable on our digital print press. When converting
colors in an Adobe Photoshop document be sure to NOT use
the selection wand- this will miss any pixels that have
a different property then the selected pixel. Instead,
please use black in the selective color, set your
darkest mix value as your "black" and then adjust the
values until they match the 50,45,35,100 mix.

- When you have completed
your art, save the file as a .jpg at 500 dpi.
- Do not include the words
"logo," "text" or "banner" in the name of the art
file because these words can cause a conflict with
our system.
- Your file name must be
less than 22 characters with no spaces.
Our system accepts .jpg formats. If your image already
exists in .jpg formats, it can be sized appropriately
and uploaded. If your image exists in another file
format, use an image editing program like Photoshop LE
or PhotoDeluxe to convert the file into .jpg format by
"Saving As" a .jpg file. Simply renaming the file with
.jpg will not convert your image into a .jpg file
format. Refer to your image editing software help for
more information on converting image files into .jpg
format.
JPEG (.jpg) - use this
file format for photographs (color or b/w) and other
full-color or gray-shade images. Most programs let you
select different compression levels when you save an
image as a .jpg. You will want to select level 9 or 10
or high unless you will be using the image on a very
small banner. JPGs are always stored as either 24-bit
color or 8-bit grayscale: for best results, do not set
your scanner to fewer colors. Also, be sure to check
your Color Mode. We will print your image in CMYK mode,
so if you can send us the file in CMYK mode, that is
ideal. If your image is in another mode, such as RGB,
indexed color, or grayscale mode, we recommend that you
convert it to CMYK mode. When you make this conversion,
a slight color shift will occur, and you may want to
adjust your image accordingly. If you send us a file in
any mode other than CMYK, we will perform the color
shift, and this may adjust the look of your image.
- Please send all supporting
graphics, files, printer and screen fonts.
