Banner Options and Materials
|
|
Q:
|
What kind of quality can I expect of the printed banner?

|
A:

We print your banner using professional, top-quality wide format printers. We use quality materials such as ultra-violet, sun-resistant inks and rugged 14-mil thick vinyl.
The result is as good or better than you could get at your local print shop.

Design Personalization
|
|
Q:
|
Can I only create College Designs?
|
|
A:
|
No! With a little imagination and your own images or logos, you can create designs for any occasion.
Simply pick a design, personalize it how you wish and we'll print it. A great source for scalable and compatible images (EPS format) is
www.clipart.com.
|
|
Q:
|
I can't seem to find a layout in the category I selected that I like. Any recommendations?
|
|
A:
|
Most of our designs, in any category, can be easily modified. Select appropriate images in your desired clipart category and change yout text and colors -- that's all there is to it!
|
|
Q:
|
I see a design that I like but there are too many lines of text. Is there something I can do?
|
|
A:
|
Just delete the text in the text field you want to remove, press the 'Preview Design' button and the text will disappear from the design.
|
|
Q:
|
There isn't enough room for the text I would like to put on the design. What can I do?
|
|
A:
|
Reduce the 'Size' of the text. By doing so, you may be able to fit more text. Type in spaces until you are happy with the layout of your text. In many cases, you can wrap text to show multiple lines in the space provided.
You might also consider selecting a different design that you personalize with your images and text to better suit your needs.
|
|
Q:
|
I typed in text in a text field and pressed 'Preview Design' but the text is cutoff in the banner. Is there anything I can do?
|
|
A:
|
Reduce the 'Size' of the text and press 'Preview Design' until the text is small enough to fit. Try reducing the point size by
5 or 10 at a time until you see the results that you like.
|
|
Q:
|
What upload formats do you support? Can I use an image or a logo in JPG, GIF, TIFF, or BMP format in a banner?
|
|
A:
|
JPG, GIF, TIFF, PNG and BMP as well as other bitmapped graphic formats will generally not scale up to the size of a large format flag or banner if they are low resolution (small). If you were to print a large banner with
one of those images on it, it is likely to look granulated and unrecognizable. Zaavy supports JPG and PNG formatted bitmap files in certain cases. They must be scaled to full print size at 100 dots per inch or greater.
We support uploads of EPS and PDF vector formatted images and JPG and PNG bitmap formatted images in some cases. EPS and PDF files containing bitmaps must include them at full size, 100 dots per inch or greater.
Many logo and mascot images and designs are created in these vector formats so that they can look perfect when they are used at any size. Check with your group or organization to see if they have
a version of your logo in one of those formats. Or, visit Viking Arts. They can convert bitmapped (raster) formats to EPS vector format.
A great source for scalable and compatible images (EPS format) is
www.clipart.com.

Z-Blades
|
|
Q:
|
Tell me about your Z-Blade 16 ft tall flags.
|
|
A:
|
A Z-Blade is 16 foot tall by over 2 foot wide. It is made
of machine-washable, rugged poplin nylon fabric. The Z-Blade is manufactured
using an advanced dye-sublimation process and printed on both sides to ensure
100% vivid color all over. As is common on custom flags, the back side of the
flag shows the reverse image of the front. The flag is double-stitched for
outdoor durability. The Z-Blade has a reinforced pole pocket through which our
optional 19 foot telescopic fiberglass pole is thread and secured using the
included 4-foot tie string. Order the pole as part of our
Z-Blade accessory kit which also includes a carry cag and ground stake.
Please allow an additional 5 business days for
delivery.
