Use the copy-and-paste prompt below to generate a 10×4 ft vinyl banner in ChatGPT, Midjourney, Canva or any AI image tool — sized correctly for print at 300 DPI, CMYK, with bleed. Fill in the [brackets], generate, and order it from FlyersATL for same-day or next-day pickup in Atlanta or Peachtree Corners.
Print specs
| Final trim size | 10 ft × 4 ft (120″ × 48″) |
|---|---|
| Bleed | 1″ on every side → file size with bleed 122″ × 50″ |
| Pixels at 300 DPI (with bleed) | 36,600 × 15,000 px |
| Large-format note | Anything over 24″ prints beautifully at 150 DPI (18,300 × 7,500 px). Aim for that as your minimum; 300 DPI is ideal but not required. |
| Safe zone | Keep text & logos 2″ inside the trim edge |
| Aspect ratio | 5:2 |
| Color mode | CMYK (convert before sending — RGB neon colors will print duller) |
| Accepted files | PDF (preferred), PNG, JPG or TIFF — flattened, fonts outlined or embedded |

Design a print-ready vinyl banner, final trim size 10 ft × 4 ft (120" × 48"), landscape orientation, aspect ratio 5:2. Output at 300 DPI in CMYK color mode. Final artwork with bleed should be 122" × 50" (36,600 × 15,000 pixels). Add 1" of bleed on all four sides and keep all text and logos at least 2" inside the trim edge. BUSINESS: [Business name] — [what you do] — [Atlanta, GA / neighborhood] HEADLINE (3–5 words max): "[GRAND OPENING / NOW HIRING / SALE]" SECONDARY LINE (optional): "[one short line]" CONTACT: [phone or website — one only] STYLE: [bold & modern / clean & elegant / urban & edgy / playful]. Brand colors: [color 1], [color 2], [accent]. Fonts: [bold sans-serif headline, clean body text]. IMAGERY: [describe the photo or illustration you want, or say "no photos, typographic design only"] RULES: Use large, legible fonts and strong contrast; letters big enough to read from 10+ feet away; no tiny text; no lorem ipsum or placeholder text; no watermarks; spell every word exactly as written above; flat print-safe colors (no neon or glowing RGB effects); clean edges; solid background that extends fully into the bleed area.
Design tips for this size
- Vinyl banners are read from 10–30 feet away: one short headline, one call to action, and a phone or website. That’s it.
- Letters should be at least 3–4 inches tall for the main message (roughly 1 inch of letter height per 10 feet of viewing distance).
- Keep everything important 2 inches inside the edge — that’s where the hems and grommets go.
Tool settings
- ChatGPT / DALL·E: Paste the prompt as-is. Image output is limited to about 1024–1536 px, so pick the landscape option and then upscale (see step 3).
- Midjourney: Add
--ar 5:2to the end of the prompt and use--q 2. Upscale the result you like. - Canva (Magic Design / Magic Media): Create a custom-size design at 122″ × 50″, paste the prompt into Magic Media, then download as PDF Print with CMYK and crop marks & bleed checked.
- Adobe Firefly / Express: Choose the landscape aspect ratio closest to 5:2, generate, then open in Express at 122″ × 50″ @ 300 ppi and export as print PDF.
From AI image to print-ready file
- Generate 3–4 versions and pick the one with the cleanest text. AI still misspells words — read every line.
- Fix the text if needed by dropping the image into Canva or Photoshop and retyping headlines over it.
- Upscale to at least 36,600 × 15,000 px using Canva’s upscaler, Topaz Gigapixel, Upscayl (free) or Photoshop’s Super Resolution.
- Set the document to 122″ × 50″ at 300 DPI, convert to CMYK, and export a flattened PDF.
- Upload & order on the vinyl banner page, or send it for a quote. Not sure about your file? Send it anyway — we look at every file before it prints.
