The design cannot be printed on a larger scale if the design has been made on a smaller scale. I have used 12 inches for my banners width and 48 inches for the height. If you want to make something smaller than this size, you are always free to customize the settings accordingly.
Apps other than Photoshop use similar settings. Setup your canvas or page size to the full size of the desired banner or sign in inches. Do not include bleed or crop marks. If you would like to order a 3×8 vinyl banner then create your page at 36 inches x 96 inches. Resolution should be set to 100dpi.
What’s the best resolution to print a banner?
Resolution will print crisp if set at 100 pixels/inch – (assuming your original artwork is high quality). Apps other than Photoshop use similar settings. Setup your canvas or page size to the full size of the desired banner or sign in inches.
Try to avoid using Word to setup the banner. They usually are troublesome and can not be printed. If Word file is all what you have, add a border proportional to your sign size and make your design inside that border only. When uploading your Word file, include all Fonts used in the files in upload.
