Overview
Artwork Guidelines
StreetRap is a matt opaque white, PVC film designed for the production of pritned outdoor floor graphics. Coated one side with a unique aggressive acrylic / rubber pressure sensitive adhesive, street rap bonds well to flat and rough surfaces including concrete and asphalt and is perfect for application in pedestrianised areas that experience a heavy footfall such as pavements, car parks, sports stadiums and shopping centres.
The film face is designed for excellent printability with solvent, eco-solvent, latex and UV-cured inkjet printers and is also printable with UV or solvent screen print inks.
When used for exterior floor graphics ‘StreetRap’ we laminate with Permacolor® PF6600 PVC over laminating film which exceeds specifications for anti-slip surface.
Bleed - Please supply artwork with 10mm bleed
Colour - Please supply your artwork in CMYK and make sure that any critical colours are set up as Pantone spot colours. Provide a CMYK equivalent for any other special colours.
File Type - We prefer print-ready PDFs but we also accept artwork files supplied as Adobe Photoshop PSD, Illustrator AI/EPS and Indesign INDD if they’re supplied with fonts and links.
Fonts - Please ‘path’ your fonts. A PDF compression won’t embed them, so we kindly ask that you create outlines (path) your fonts or send the font files with the artwork.
Links - If you are supplying artwork in a format other than a PDF, please include all linked images and font files.
Pixels Per Inch - DPI determines the resolution (detail) of the artwork. Images with a low DPI can look blurry or pixelated when they’re printed. We prefer to work with a minimum of 300dpi.
Trim - There’s no need to add trim marks because our software can detect the art-board without them. If your artwork has a cutter, label the cutter using a spot colour called ‘CutContour’.
