im new here so sorry if i do any mistakes in explaining. I've been doing graphic design works but explicitly for online and digital usage, never print. Now, im about to enter into the printing area of it all and i have a question;

Im supposed to print on a 3x2.3m surface (300x230 cm) just a logo on a specific height and width and i will attach a photo to clarify my question.



Now, am i on the right path or not?

you can see your EXACT logo proportion by looking at Transform window. there mentioned are your x&y position and the exact Width and height. The printer will be the one responsible what area they will be using.

It is hard to tell from the screenshot, so here`s a few things you should do:


make the logo in real dimensions
use vectors, not image (when you go to outline mode, you should see the outlines of the logo, not an image box)
make sure to define the logo in a color that will be printed. If black as on screenshot, define it as CMYK 0/0/0/100 or choose a single Pantone black from swatches. It depends on the type of media and printing technique you`ll be using
the picture you plan to attach should be CMYK in a right color profile (ask the printers which they prefere)
for billboards and similar large formats usually 150 dpi is enough resolution (or even less - 72 or 100) but, that`s also the information that dependes on purpose - to make sure, also ask the printer house


Hope to be of an assistance and best of luck!
