FAQ

Using these tools

The calculators give you a fast, reliable starting point. When you are ready to make it real, we will handle the design and printing.

Are these tools free to use?

Yes — every calculator here is free, no sign-up required. They are the same quick checks we run when planning a project.

How big does my image need to print sharp?

It depends on the finished size and how close it is viewed. Our Image Resolution Checker tells you in seconds — and our design team can rebuild low-res art if needed.

How tall should my sign letters be?

Use the Letter Height Calculator — enter the viewing distance and it returns a readable size. We design and print the finished signage too.

Can you just handle the file setup and printing?

Absolutely. Send us what you have and we will take it from artwork to finished, print-ready files — and produce it. Request a free quote.
