Fonts (MAC)
To ensure that your files will be output correctly, and on time please include a copy of all fonts used in your files, including fonts used in linked eps files. Include botht the screen and postscript fonts. Please do not use Multiple Master fonts, and avoid True Type fonts to reduce delays and avoid possible conversion charges. We recommend using Adobe Postscript fonts only.
Making a bold font or italic by applying bold or italic in the application menu could cause font substitution and result in additional plate charges. Select the specific font face you want to use instead.
Placed Graphics
- Convert RGB files to CMYK mode before placing the image. RGB files do not separate correctly.
- Preferred dpi for all images is 300 dpi. 72 dpi files are unacceptable for 300 line screen.
- Use only EPS files (with DCS off the Binary Encoding selected) or TIFF's (with LZW compression off) only. Using GIF, JPEG, or other files formats could result in additional plate charges.
- When placing a graphic element in Adobe PageMaker, choose 'No' when prompted to include a complete copy in the publication.
NOTE: It is critical to prepare and design with high quality photos scanned at no less then 300 dpi, CMYK. Do not forget to send all linked files, printer and screen fonts and sample with your order.
