General Guidelines For File
Preparation
DOCUMENT SIZE:
Create your document to the exact final size you want printed.
BLEED AREAS:
All bleeds should be set up to a MINIMUM
OF 1/8" beyond trim.
PHOTOSHOP FILES:
All imported Photoshop files should be saved as CMYK,
GRAYSCALE, MONOTONE or DUOTONE,
for images and BITMAP
for lineart. DO NOT USE RGB,
LAB, or INDEX COLOR.
Save files as EPS, or TIFF files at 300
DPI. Do not use LZW
compression.
Rotate, scale, etc. all picture files within the program
before importing in your document layout.
FONTS:
Do not use the type style menu, or control bar to stylize
your type. Select the actual stylized font from the font
menu. For example, use HELVETICA
BOLD instead of applying a
"bold"
style to the Helvetica font.
COLORS:
Please delete ALL
unused colors from ALL
elements of your document in the native program used to
create them. DUE TO THE
WIDER GAMUT RANGE OF RGB COLOR YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE THE
SAME RESULT WHEN CONVERTING TO CMYK. THEREFORE, WE REQUEST
THAT YOU CONVERT ALL OF YOUR RGB FILES TO CMYK.
ILLUSTRATOR/FREEHAND:
Convert fonts to outline and save as EPS — no
embedded fonts.
Include original files for all placed art.
FINAL PREPARATION OF DISK FOR OUTPUT:
Please put ALL PLACED,
or imported elements of your final document into ONE
folder and label it IMAGES.
Please place the final document into another folder and
label it FINAL DOCUMENT.
This folder should contain only the final version of your
document, and should match the hard copy you supplied.
Please place all FONTS
used in the document into another folder and label it FONTS.
Remember to include both SCREEN
and PRINTER
fonts.
Open your completed file from the disk you will supply us
and make sure that all links to imported graphics are in
place, and status is "OK"
in picture usage menu, or links menu.
Double check all fonts used and make sure you have placed
them in the font’s folder on the disk.
Delete all other files from disk that are not used for your
final document.
Delete all other
