Sierra Print Artist is a graphics and publishing program for creating items such as cards, calendars, and banners. The software was developed by Sierra for Microsoft MS-DOS.
A .ban file stores banner data for use in Print Artist. It is a project or design file rather than a general-purpose image format.
Open the file with the compatible MS-DOS version of Sierra Print Artist. Because the software is a legacy MS-DOS application, it may require an original compatible computer or a suitably configured DOS emulator.
Other graphics programs generally do not support this format directly.
It may be possible to open the file in Print Artist and export it to another format using an export function provided by that version, but this information could not be reliably verified.
