Which file format should I choose for printing a foil wall wxh = 3x2.5m?

Thanks Dax!

I appreciate that you took the time

to reply so informative. I will ask the

print company what file format they

prefer. FYI, the foil wall is a wall paper

with print on for use in a both at an

exhibition. I thought that if I made the

file in eps-format they would be able

to resize and enlarge the file to fit the

print size 3x2,5 meters. Then again,

they might want a pdf-file in real size 1:1,

Thank again!

Bjorn,

As you might guess, there are many ways to produce things. Many variations of "correct." The thing you need to ask yourself first is what am I most worried about?

Time?

File Size?

Resolution?

Skill level?

Output format?

Color Space?

Transparency?

These are just a few things. Each issue might require a different approach to ensure that you are handling the main concern.

For example in your situation you are dealing with-

1. Text

2. Photo

3. Logos (format? eps, jpg, png, ai)

4. Large Format

5. Indoor/Outdoor?

While you can do this in Photoshop, Illustrator or InDesign, each would require specific knowledge about workflow and file manipulation. Since we don't have information about your skill level, fears or specific concerns, we can only speak in generalities. Not to mention addressing how important color is to you and the output format is and what "Foil Wall" is. As BobLevine suggested, contact the printer or the client and make sure you are following their recommendations. The printer will be able to give you information as to what they expect as a file format, what color profile/space to use and other information that will give you the best chance for success.

But the simple answer is: You should use whatever program you are most comfortable in that outputs the file format your printing company accepts.
