• Please, use a page layout program such as QuarkXPress, InDesign or PageMaker to build your files. Single page jobs may be built in Illustrator, FreeHand, Canvas, Corel Draw or Microsoft Publisher.
  
  
• Avoid building pages in word processing, presentation, photo retouching programs,
  
  
• If your job contains spreads, please use side by side pages to build your job. For example: To build an 11" x 17" spread, use 2 side by side 8.5" x11" pages, not an 11" x 17" page. Please, build your document to trim size (do not draw your own crop marks), and add 1/8" bleed when applicable. Please, do not build jobs in printer's spreads or add trap to your files. We will do this for you at no extra charge.
  
  
• Please, make sure all of your color photos are in CMYK (not RGB) format and at least 225 dpi or higher in their final size. Example: A photo scanned at 100 dpi but scaled to 25% in the page layout program has an effective resolution of 400 dpi. Likewise, a 300 dpi image scaled to 200% in the page layout program has an effective resolution of only 150 dpi and output could print with jagged edges.
  
  
• Please, use only TIFF, EPS, or Scitex CT formats for placed images. Avoid WMF, BMP, JPG, GIF and PCX image formats.
  
  
• Please, supply all images and fonts with your job. If we are missing any of these items, a delay in processing could occur.
  
  
• Please, include a color printout of your job.
  
  PLEASE NOTE: Desktop color printers are not color accurate! We will provide you with a color proof of your job made on a proofer calibrated to our printers.
  We can match the color of customer supplied digital proofs only at an extra cost.
