File Requirements

Document size

If possible, create your document at the final printout size (Note: length or width cannot exceed 44”).

Photos and graphics

Minimum of 150 dpi (300 dpi recommended) at their full size (Graphics taken from websites are not recommended due to low resolution—final printout images will be blurry).

Accepted file formats

  • High resolution PDF files preferred
  • PNG or TIF from “native” saved full size, at least 150 dpi
  • PowerPoint, Illustrator and InDesign files (NOTE:  Due to differences in computer software, these file formats may not open ac­curately. If submitting Illustrator or InDesign files, all type must be converted to outlines and all links must be submitted with the file.)

Color recommendations

CMYK format

For the best color output, use the following values:

UWM gold: C=0; M=15; Y=100; K=0

Black: C=60; M=40; Y=40; K=100
