AI Prompts for Print-Ready Files

Help me prepare artwork for Mile High Graphics. This is artwork for review, not a production approval.
Company and project: [COMPANY / PROJECT]
Product and material: [PRODUCT / MATERIAL OR UNKNOWN]
Finished width x height and units: [WIDTH x HEIGHT / INCHES OR FEET]
Quantity and artwork versions: [QUANTITY / VERSIONS]
Viewing distance and location: [DISTANCE / INDOOR OR OUTDOOR]
Finishing or installation: [HEMS / POCKETS / CUT SHAPE / PANELS / OTHER]
MHG template, bleed, safe area, scale and color instructions: [ATTACHED INSTRUCTIONS OR NOT YET CONFIRMED]
Approved text, logo and brand references: [ATTACHMENTS / EXACT COPY]

First identify missing information that affects file setup. Do not invent measurements, bleed, margins, profiles, fonts or production specifications. Ask concise questions before creating a final-size file.
Tell me which tools you can actually use to create and inspect downloadable files. If you can only provide a concept or instructions, say so.
Keep approved logos unchanged. Keep text and logos separate from generated imagery where possible. Use only assets I am authorized to use.
Do not claim a file is vector, CMYK, outlined, correctly sized or print-ready without inspecting the resulting file. At every handoff, separate verified facts, assumptions and items MHG must check.

Develop two layout concepts for [PRODUCT] for [COMPANY], at a finished size of [WIDTH x HEIGHT / UNITS].
Goal and audience: [GOAL / AUDIENCE]
Viewing distance: [DISTANCE]
Exact approved copy: [HEADLINE / SUPPORTING TEXT / PHONE / WEBSITE]
Brand references and original logo: [ATTACHED ASSETS]
MHG safe area and finishing instructions: [CONFIRMED SPECS OR UNKNOWN]
Use a clear hierarchy with one main message. Explain why the text size and contrast suit the viewing distance. Preserve the logo proportions and exact wording.
Use placeholders for missing assets. Label mockups as concepts, not production files. Do not invent contact details or customer claims.
After I choose a concept, list the source files and measurements needed to build it accurately. Do not call the preview print-ready.

Create a background image or illustration for [PRODUCT / SUBJECT].
Image area at final print size: [WIDTH x HEIGHT / UNITS]
Composition and style: [DESCRIPTION]
Keep this area clear for separately added lettering: [LOCATION]
Do not include lettering, numbers, QR codes, logos or watermarks in the generated art. Do not represent an invented installation as a real completed project.
Use the requested aspect ratio where supported. Tell me the actual exported pixel width and height, file format and whether any enlargement was applied. Do not invent pixel dimensions or claim that setting a DPI label adds detail.
Provide the highest-quality original download available. If the requested dimensions are unsupported, state the limit and explain the crop or resolution tradeoff.

Inspect my attached logo for vector reconstruction. I have permission to use it.
Preserve the existing design, spelling, proportions and colors. Do not redesign or guess unreadable letters. Identify areas that need a better source.
If your tools support accurate vector reconstruction, produce an SVG with real paths, not an embedded bitmap. Preserve a reference copy for side-by-side comparison. Convert lettering to paths only if you can reproduce it accurately and have access to the required font or shapes.
List any embedded raster images, live fonts, filters or unsupported effects still present. Report color values as references, not a guaranteed print match.
Provide [COMPANY]_Logo_VectorReview.svg and a preview. Do not label it approved. If you cannot verify path content or reproduce the logo accurately, give me a repair brief for MHG instead.

Using file-creation tools, build a PDF for MHG review from my approved layout and source assets.
Finished trim size: [WIDTH x HEIGHT / UNITS]
Document scale: [1:1 OR MHG-APPROVED SCALE]
Bleed on each edge: [MHG-CONFIRMED VALUES]
Safe area, finishing and template: [MHG-CONFIRMED REQUIREMENTS]
Color profile and PDF export requirements: [MHG-CONFIRMED REQUIREMENTS]
Calculate and report trim and page dimensions. Set trim and bleed boxes correctly if supported. At reduced scale, scale the bleed and safe area too and clearly label the final output size.
Extend existing backgrounds to bleed without stretching, mirroring or inventing important content. Ask before cropping or generating new image content. Do not add printer marks unless MHG requests them.
Keep genuine vector elements vector. Embed licensed fonts or outline a copy, retaining an editable master. Do not substitute fonts silently.
Preserve image quality. Report each placed image's pixel dimensions, placed dimensions and effective PPI at final size, including cropping or scaling.
Name the file [COMPANY]_[PROJECT]_[FINAL-SIZE]_[VERSION].pdf. Reopen and inspect the export if your tools allow it. Report verified checks, unresolved issues and anything you cannot inspect. Do not claim CMYK, spot colors, PDF/X compliance or print readiness without verification.

Plan perforated window graphics for [COMPANY] using the attached storefront photos and measured panel schedule.
Each glass pane's finished dimensions and identifier: [PANEL SCHEDULE]
Exact message and original logo: [COPY / ATTACHMENTS]
Viewing distance: [DISTANCE]
MHG film, bleed, safe area and installation instructions: [CONFIRMED SPECS OR UNKNOWN]
Use bold, high-contrast lettering and simple imagery. Flag fine detail and small text that may lose clarity on perforated film.
Keep key content away from mullions, handles, seams and obstructions. Do not infer physical measurements from a photograph. Do not promise nighttime privacy.
Create a labeled visual concept and panel plan. Do not split production panels or mirror artwork until MHG confirms orientation, panel sizes and installation requirements. List the information still needed before export.

Prepare my attached artwork for a custom-cut decal review.
Finished cut size: [WIDTH x HEIGHT / UNITS]
Desired shape and visible border: [SHAPE / BORDER WIDTH]
MHG-confirmed bleed, safe area and cut setup: [SPECIFICATIONS OR UNKNOWN]
Keep visible border, bleed and safe area as separate measurements. Do not assume they are equal.
Create a clean closed vector contour for each intended cut, with no duplicate paths or unintended internal cuts. Flag fragile points, tight corners and small gaps for production review.
Use the exact spot-color name and export setup MHG specifies. If CutContour is requested, a layer label or process-magenta stroke is not enough: verify the named spot color in the exported PDF. Do not invent overprint settings.
If your tool cannot preserve named spot colors, provide the vector shape separately, identify the limitation and leave production setup to MHG. Include a preview showing the intended cut, plus a file without the guide printed into the artwork.

Create a design and production brief for [VEHICLE WRAP OR WALL GRAPHICS].
Project: [COMPANY / PROJECT]
Vehicle year, make, model, body style OR wall dimensions: [DETAILS]
Approved template and measured photos: [ATTACHMENTS OR NOT AVAILABLE]
Doors, handles, trim, windows, outlets and other obstructions: [DETAILS]
Brand assets and exact text: [ASSETS / COPY]
Create a concept and a missing-information checklist. Do not invent measurements from photos or treat a generic vehicle template as verified.
Keep critical text away from likely seams, contours and obstructions. Leave production panel splits, overlaps, stretch allowance, bleed and cut paths for MHG to confirm.
Deliver an editable concept if supported, a clearly labeled mockup and a concise handoff brief. Do not label the mockup installation-ready.

Inspect the attached exported file for [COMPANY / PROJECT]. Compare it with the attached MHG specifications: [SPECIFICATIONS].
Use PASS, NEEDS FIX or NOT VERIFIED for each check. Only use PASS when you inspected the actual file and can explain the evidence. If you cannot open or inspect it, stop and say so.
Check: final trim dimensions and units; page and bleed dimensions; document scale; backgrounds reaching bleed; safe area and finishing clearance; vector versus raster content; effective PPI at final print size; fonts embedded or outlined; actual color spaces and profiles; named spot colors and cut contours where required; missing links; unexpected transparency or overprint issues where inspectable.
Compare spelling and contact details against this approved source: [EXACT APPROVED COPY]. Do not claim a phone number is correct without a source. Flag any unreadable or distorted generated lettering.
For each problem, identify the page/object, what you observed, the proposed fix and whether MHG must handle it. Do not modify the file without my approval. Finish with a list of all NOT VERIFIED items for MHG.

Create a concise handoff note for Mile High Graphics from our conversation.
Include company, project, quote/order reference if available, product, material, quantity, final dimensions and units, document scale, artwork versions, required timing and installation locations.
List each filename and what it is for. Separate the PDF for review, editable source, original logo, original images and mockup. Identify which revision should be used.
List MHG-confirmed requirements separately from assumptions. Include every unresolved issue and technical check that was NOT VERIFIED. State if AI-generated or enlarged imagery was used and preserve original pixel dimensions where known.
Do not invent missing values. Mark them UNKNOWN. End with the questions MHG needs to answer before final setup. Do not state that production is approved.
