Artwork Guidelines

Our Company supports the following software:

- Adobe InDesign
- Adobe Illustrator
- Adobe Pagemaker
- QuarkXpress
- Microsoft Publisher
- Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint and Excel).

We also support the PDF format.

The following application files must be provided using special utilities within the applications in preparation for a printer:

- QuarkXpress use "Collect for Output"
- InDesign use "Package"
- Pagemaker use "Save for Service Provider"
- Publisher use "Pack and Go"

Documents can also be saved as PDF files via Adobe Distiller. If special utilities are not used, then an additional charge will be required.

All graphics and images must be provided as TIF or EPS files. Other file formats will require conversion at an additional charge.

Full color images and photos to be printed in 4 color process must be prepared in CMYK, not RGB. Spot colors should be identified as Pantone colors and be prepared as spot colors. Files that require changes will have an additional charge.

A hard copy sample of the document is required so that we know what your final piece is supposed to look like. Multi-color documents should be submitted as separations if a sample with colors in place cannot be provided.

Microsoft Office applications cannot be color separated within the application. If the documents are to be printed on a printing press, we must use special procedures and tools to separate these files that will require and additional charge. We will attempt to match the colors as closely as possible.

We are available to help you in preparing your files. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
