Graphics Format Recommendations

GENERAL GUIDELINES

• Single column graphics should not exceed 51 Picas High by 18 Picas Wide.

• Full page graphics should not exceed 51 Picas High by 42 picas Wide.

• Fold Out graphics should not exceed 51 Picas High (width on foldouts is not important).

• Recommend 300 DPI for all graphics to help decrease file/PDF sizes due to there being really no discernable quality difference over 600 DPI.

• Directorates must know what graphic file types they can utilize and sustain with software availa-ble on hand and request file types to match.

• The 5 most common graphics file types are: EPS, TIFF, CGM, JPEG & DWG. Each is ad-dressed below:

EPS:

• Raster based images will not be saved as EPS.

• EPS files shall not be a mix of vector and raster images. Vector only.

• Any source data (photos used for tracing etc.), used in aiding of creation of EPS (templates, etc.)

will be deleted from illustration prior to saving/exporting.

• If multiple layers are used, then image is to be flattened into 1 single layer before exporting to minimize file size and reduce possible printing issues.

TIFF:

• B&W raster images should only be saved as Bitmap and not Grayscale, RGB or CMYK.

• Grayscale or Color images (screenshots, etc.) will be saved as such (Grayscale, RGB or CMYK) and will not be bitmap converted using a halftone screen.

• To further aid in file size reduction for storage purposes, images should be compressed using

Group 4 compression when saving/exporting.

CGM:

• Raster based images will not be saved as CGM.

• Any source data used in aiding of creation of CGM (templates, etc.) will be deleted from illustra-tion prior to saving/exporting.

• CGM files shall not be a mix of vector and raster images. Vector only.

• If multiple layers are used, then image is to be flattened into 1 single layer before exporting to minimize file size and reduce possible printing issues..

• Unless Version 4 is specifically required for hotspots and/or hyper linking, CGMs should be ex-ported as version 3 to increase cross platform compatibility.

DWG:

• Raster based images will not be saved as DWG.

• DWG files shall not be a mix of vector and raster images. Vector only.

• Any source data used in aiding of creation of DWG (templates, etc.) will be deleted from illustra-tion prior to saving/exporting.

• If multiple layers are used, then image is to be flattened into 1 single layer before exporting to minimize file size and reduce possible printing issues.

JPEG:

• JPEG File format should be used as last resort. Color screenshots/photos should be saved as

TIFFs due possible system compatibility issues.

• B&W Bitmaps should not be saved as JPEGs.
