What does it cost?

"I can get it for less" is something we only hear from some first-time buyers at LetterBank. Once you work and talk with our creative, service-oriented, knowledgeable professionals, you will know that you get more for your money every time.

What do you do?
We turn your bitmapped art, photo, fax, drawing or sketch into a postscript vectored art file, required for many kinds of sign and displays.

Can you work directly with my graphic artist/agency?

Yes, we work with many design and marketing professionals. Have them email us for more information.

Can I have a copy of my art on a DVD or CD?
Yes, we are glad to provide this service for our cusotmers.

Placed or linked images? These can cause problems. Send the art in the program of origin, or print it out.

Sending a tif/jpg? Save as high-resolution in CMYK at a minimum 244 dpi resolution at finished size.
(see caveat below)
LetterBank can create original art, or scan, modify, color or otherwise update your art.


We do not accept Quark, InDesign, PageMaker or other non-graphic program files. We do not accept MicroSoft files, as they generally are not design programs, and to reduce the liabilities of a virus. If your art is in these files, print it out to send it in.
