PALO ALTO, CA –Wemorph, Inc., (www.wemorph.com) a leading digital imaging and printing company in the San Francisco BayArea, today announced its new “Show Your Best Print Project Contest” for local small and mid-sized businesses in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties.

Guestimates vary widely about how many images and messages a person sees in a day. It is generally agreed that average individuals are bombarded with so many messages that they consciously and unconsciously shut out most of them out. Marketing messages sent via email get ignored and phone calls go to voicemail only to be deleted. Social media messages and TV and radio all compete for our limited attention.

Many businesses have recently discovered that these hard to reach individuals are responding to creative print projects such as postcards, brochures, flyers and other items that can be mailed or handed to the customer. Through multichannel marketing, the same message is delivered both online and offline to reach the customer at the right point in the buying cycle.

“We are hoping to find innovative examples of print products to share as examples with the local business community to help everyone reach their target markets more effectively, “said Dan Ingerman, owner of Wemorph, Inc.

In the world of graphic design, many of us are used to working with brochures, business cards letterhead etc., but what do we do when it needs to be BIG!!? Resolution is the key to success. Many designs look great on the screen, but when they are enlarged to 10 times their original size images can look rough around the edges. It is important to start with high dpi files. Your graphics should be 100 – 150 dpi at their finished size. Scan or purchase FAT (high-resolution) files to ensure you have the resolution needed. If you start with a graphic too low in resolution, enlarging it in Photoshop will not put back the missing information. If in doubt, instead of just doing a proof of your entire file at a reduced percentage, print a small cross section of the graphic portion at 100 percent to get an idea of what it will look like at the finished size. When you sent your file off for production, be sure to ask it to be pre-filghted by your printing professional.
