Images

1. How many colors can I have in my product and does it change the price?

There is no restriction on the colors you can have in your roller shade. The shades are produced digitally and thus can have unlimited colors, text, images, etc.

2. Will the printed product look exactly like it does on my screen?

Not exactly. All monitors are different and the printing process uses slightly different colors than monitors use in order to produce window shades. Your window shade will be very close to the color you specify but it will not be exact. If you need precision, please call us at 1-800-392-9860 to discuss your needs.

3. What format should my images be in?

The online design tool can accept JPG, PNG, and EPS formats. 

4. How can I tell if my image is good enough?

Generally speaking if you found the image on the internet, it is not good enough. It's also probably copyright infringement too. But, in order to determine if your image is good enough for window shade production, you can do this quick math problem to see. 

Example:

You want to make a window shade that was 36" x 24" and you want an image to cover the entire area.

You can take those numbers and add two 0's to it.  They are now 3600 x 2400

Find the pixel count on the image you have (in windows, right click and hit properties and then find where it says image size) and compare. 

If its close, you're probably good to go. You can be off by as much as 20% and still get an acceptable product. If your image is too low quality, someone from SignGrafx will contact you about it anyway, so don't worry!

5. Can SignGrafx help me design my product?

Sure. But you would  need to call our associates at 1-800-392-9860 to discuss your needs.

6. How do I delete the white space from around my picture/logo?

If you have a JPG image you will have trouble doing this unless you have photoshop. Even if you have photoshop, it is not very easy to do. If you need images which do not have white space, You should try to locate the EPS version of the artwork in question as it generally does not have this issue.

7. Where can I find high quality artwork if I don't have any?

You can get inexpensive artwork from istockphoto and bigstockphoto if you need some added boost to your window shade designs! Check them out! If you can't find what you're looking for give us a call at 1-800-392-9860 and maybe we can help!

Ordering:

1. Do I have to sign up in order to purchase?

No. You can order without setting up an account. But, if you want to save your designs for later use you will need to set up an account.

You will receive an email telling you that your order was placed. Also, when your order ships you will receive an order letting you know that your package is on it's way.

Quality Products from SignGrafx

Whether you choose the perforated material or the opaque, you can be sure you're going to get a quality product from SignGrafx. The perforated window shade material was developed by SignGrafx in the 1990s for the food service industry and has been used in fast food and fine dining locations around the US and the world. The fact that the product transmits some light, can  be seen through by security personnel at night, and is hypo allegenic has made this window shade material a winning product for over a decade. 

Based on customer inquiries we developed an opaque window shade material as well. This material is fire rated, blocks more light without being blockout and has a cloth feel to it. This product has been used by interior designers around the nation to create unique and personal design details in storefronts as well as homes.
