• Provide a hard copy (laser print) of the final file.
• Send all fonts used. If applicable screen and printer fonts.
• Do not use “styles” for fonts in application. If the font does not have a bold or italic version, it will not print that way on our Postscript 3 system.
• Vector based files can have the type converted to outlines to eliminate fonts, but will also eliminate our ability to edit text.
• Include all imported images and links, even if the files have been embedded.
• All color documents and/or imported color files should be CMYK, or PMS spot color (not RGB). CMYK images should not be used in spot color jobs.
• Delete unused color from the color palette in your application. Do not use multiples of the same color ie: 340, 340C, 340CVC) as each of these will print as a separate color.
• Scans and non-vector based art should be 350 DPI resolution at the placed size.
• Remove all unused text or graphics from the pasteboard outside the document image area.
• Keep text and objects not to be trimmed no closer than 1/8” from the actual trim.
• Items that print to the trim (bleed) should extend 1/8” past the trim.
• Do not float your document on an oversized page.
