Image quality is part art, part science. Generally, low resolution website pictures look terrible on signs. Web pages need to load quickly, so people visiting a page don't leave the organization's website. If high definition pictures are on the page, the page will load slowly. Thus, nearly every internet picture you find on a storefront or news page is low definition. It might look good at 2' x 2', but will look terrible at 12' tall. Before uploading a picture, zoom in. Is it grainy? Does the edge look crisp? If not sure, email us the image, let us know how big you want it, and we will let you know if it will look good enough to be persuasive. Sometimes, for a small fee, we can use commercial software to improve the quality. Files that are 100 kilobytes (kb) or less, even up to 1000 kb, are often too low quality to use on all but the smallest signs or decals.

Google Images has the ability to display only high definition pictures- play with the settings. However, that does not mean you are legally allowed to use the image. Make sure before you use it. Often, people are honored to have someone use their picture, and say yes, if you ask nicely.

Modern camera phones take excellent images if you choose the highest quality setting. Likewise, tablets can take great pictures, usable for signage products.

Available Colors for printing depends upon the printing method you choose. Silk Screen signs and decals have standard colors that do not incur any additional fees. If you desire a specific silk screen color, called a PMS color, we advise you call in to discuss your job. We have color matching experts. There will be an additional charge, to hand mix ink colors, for this service. This is the only way to guarantee Brand Guidelines and Specific colors are achieved. If the product you choose is digitally printed, we can likewise print with calibrated equipment to achieve specific CMYK values. Again, a phone call is recommended.

You can upload your photo or image in our online design tool. For the best results, please be sure to upload the highest resolution image available. If you are uploading a photo that needs editing, please select that service and we will make the edits you need if we can.

We recommend using only warm water on a clean rag to gently wipe the printed surface. You should avoid using any harsh chemicals or cleaners as they will likely damage or remove the ink from the surface of the plastic. On the back side only, you can use denatured alcohol or other cleaners to remove any dirt, smudges or build-up.

If you are only planning on using this product inside, you can expect to get many years out of this product as long as it is not exposed to direct sunlight at all times. Over time, the sun’s UV rays will begin to fade the print.

It is best to leave your headsicle in a cool, dry place. If you store your headsicle in the folded position, you can damage the ink along the fold which will leave a permanent crease in the middle.

Our headsicles are printed with OEM M&R® Brand UV cured inks on 4mm (3/16”) white corrugated plastic. We use a CNC router to cut your print to the desired shape.

They are made from the same lightweight, durable material as our yard signs, which is 4mm (3/16”) corrugated plastic. Think of what cardboard looks like, but made from an outdoor durable plastic instead of brown paperboard.

This is the trickiest part of getting your signs or decals to look great. Starting with the highest definition image is the best way to end with something that look fantastic. Our culture is used to high def, so when we see something that is fuzzy, we often associate it with low quality. Our best recommendations to start with high definition imagery:

1) Use a premium service like Shutterstock.com to purchase a high definition image, then upload it to us. Services like Shutterstock.com have royalty free, images that are often only $10. You can upload it to our design software and add elements to it to complete your signs.

2) We subscribe to "Freepik.com", with a premium account. If you see an image at the Freeepik.com website that you would like to use, you can email us the photo name and/or number, and we will email it to you for use in your sign.
