There are really only
three elements you need to provide for us to successfully print from your digital files:
1. Your page layout document
2. The fonts used in your document
3. Any graphics used in your document
1. Page Layout Document:
This includes QuarkXPress, Adobe PageMaker, Adobe InDesign, and Microsoft Publisher. Other software such as Microsoft Word can be used for simple one-color print jobs however, most print jobs benefit from the control and consistency provided by page layout software.
Please tell us:
Software Name
Version(e.g: 7.1)
Mac or Windows
2. Please include all Fonts used in your documents:
We may have fonts of the same name, but fonts from different manufacturers may not have the same characteristics even if they share the same name. These inconsistencies can produce unexpected output. The only way to guarantee correct output is for us to use the same fonts as you did, so please include your fonts!
3. Please include any artwork or graphics used in your page layout software:
There are many graphic file formats available, and each format was developed for a specific use. The file formats developed for use in the printing industry are the Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) and Encapsulated PostScript (EPS). Graphics in other formats will need to be converted to TIF or EPS.
