| We strongly encourage you to download our
Designer's Guide
(PDF format, 143K) for the most complete and recent File Preparation
Guidelines and other important information about digital files.
This is the abbreviated version:
Provide
all fonts (use Type1 instead of TrueType if possible)
BEWARE! Placed EPS files that contain type may require fonts
not seen by your application until they are printed. To avoid
delays, be certain to include ALL fonts necessary for the
production of your job.
Provide
all support graphics
Use
appropriate file formats for placed graphics
For reliable results use EPS or TIFF formats for placed
graphics. WMF, CGM, PICT, and WPG formats are unreliable
when sent to high resolution output devices. Do not cut
and paste graphics!
Use
appropriate settings for placed graphics
Here are some basic settings your placed graphics should
adhere to:
All
color bitmaps (TIFF and EPS) are to be:
Imagesetting - CMYK, no RGB data
Large-format InkJet - RGB EPS (profile embedded preferred)
All
vector artwork is to be CMYK or Spot (Pantone preferred),
no RGB data.
Provide a printed sample of your file
This allows us to identify which graphics to expect and where,
text placement and flow, a specific page of a multi-page document,
etc. Without a hardcopy we don't know what to expect, therefore
you may not get what you thought.
