Image quality is part art, part science. Generally, low resolution website pictures look terrible on signs. Web pages need to load quickly, so people visiting a page don't leave the organization's website. If high definition pictures are on the page, the page will load slowly. Thus, nearly every internet picture you find on a storefront or news page is low definition. It might look good at 2' x 2', but will look terrible at 12' tall. Before uploading a picture, zoom in. Is it grainy? Does the edge look crisp? If not sure, email us the image, let us know how big you want it, and we will let you know if it will look good enough to be persuasive. Sometimes, for a small fee, we can use commercial software to improve the quality. Files that are 100 kilobytes (kb) or less, even up to 1000 kb, are often too low quality to use on all but the smallest signs or decals.
Google Images has the ability to display only high definition pictures- play with the settings. However, that does not mean you are legally allowed to use the image. Make sure before you use it. Often, people are honored to have someone use their picture, and say yes, if you ask nicely.
Modern camera phones take excellent images if you choose the highest quality setting. Likewise, tablets can take great pictures, usable for signage products.

Professionals use premium materials. We are professionals.
Available Colors for printing depends upon the printing method you
choose. Silk Screen signs and decals have standard colors that do not
incur any additional fees. If you desire a specific silk screen color,
called a PMS color, we advise you call in to discuss your job. We have
color matching experts. There will be an additional charge, to hand mix
ink colors, for this service. This is the only way to guarantee Brand
Guidelines and Specific colors are achieved. If the product you choose
is digitally printed, we can likewise print with calibrated equipment to
achieve specific CMYK values. Again, a phone call is recommended.
Our Palight® premium PVC sheets are 96” x 48”, so you can order any size up and including 96” x 48”. Please keep in mind that any size sign larger than 10 sq ft of total area will incur a large shipping charge. This is considered an oversized package and it very costly to ship. Very large signs may require freight shipping which is also very costly. Please give us a call or contact us if you have questions.
Our PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride. It is the world’s third-most widely produced synthetic plastic polymer. Our Palight® Premium PVC is made from the flexible version of PVC. This is done by adding plasticizers, most commonly phthalates. Other terms used to describe this material is expanded foam PVC. It is a lightweight, yet rigid product making it ideal for indoor signage. This product is not meant for outdoor use.
What resources are available for high resolution artwork?
This is the trickiest part of getting your signs or decals to look great. Starting with the highest definition image is the best way to end with something that look fantastic. Our culture is used to high def, so when we see something that is fuzzy, we often associate it with low quality. Our best recommendations to start with high definition imagery:
1) Use a premium service like Shutterstock.com to purchase a high definition image, then upload it to us. Services like Shutterstock.com have royalty free, images that are often only $10. You can upload it to our design software and add elements to it to complete your signs.
2) We subscribe to "Freepik.com", with a premium account. If you see an image at the Freeepik.com website that you would like to use, you can email us the photo name and/or number, and we will email it to you for use in your sign.
What kind of image should I use for my Logo?
Ideally, logos will be uploaded as an EPS of SVG file. This allows precise
color instructions, sharp line work, a perfect logo. Most businesses
have their logo's saved as a vector file (.eps, .ai, .svg). This is the way to
upload files to get a precise result.

Does Good Guys Signs offer Professional Graphics Services?
Good Guys Signs employs many graphics artists. Like any artisan, some
are great at composition, some have more illustration skills, and some
focus on commercial design. We bill for this service to the minute, so
it's fair to both you and us. Hint: It is helpful to be able to
communicate graphically with an artist before they begin billable work
for you. If you were to go to Google Images and find the type of
lettering, coloring, pictures or art you like, they will be able to
deduce quite a bit from the emailed files you send them. You might not
be able to explain why you like some text, but they will instantly know
you prefer your text to have a bevel with an inner glow, for example.
This saves you money and frustration. Call if you would like to know
more.
