Required Items… Help Keep Your Costs
Down
Please follow these steps to ensure that
your job will print properly, and save you money. Changes to
your file to correct it for output will be assessed at a rate
of $60.00 per hour ($30.00 minimum).
Proof And Folding Dummy
We cannot stress enough the importance of a
final proof of your job. Without one, we will assume our output
is correct and will not be responsible for differences. Be sure
to include a folded dummy so our bindery experts can be sure
the job is done properly.
CMYK & Spot Colors
Be sure that all photos in 4/color process
jobs have been converted to CMYK and that all spot colors are
identified properly. For jobs with more than one color, include
a color separated print out with your disk. Remove all unused
spot colors from your document.
Bleeds
Any object that prints to the edge of the
page needs to be extended at least 1/8” off the edge of
the page to allow for variation in the trimming of the final
piece.
Graphics
It is critical to include your original
graphics files in eps or tif format on your disk. DO NOT embed
your images in your layout program. If you do, we will not be
able to make any corrections to your graphics file. If your
colors are not properly identified, the file will not correctly
separate.
Fonts
Take a close look at your files and send
all fonts you have used. Remember to include any fonts used in
your art files as well.
