SENDING LOGO / ART WORK:
If you are supplying your own artwork, following these guidelines is necessary to ensure print production:

We support the following software for both Macintosh- and PC-based systems:

  • Adobe Illustrator
  • Quark XPress
  • Adobe PageMaker
  • Adobe Photoshop
  • Corel Draw

Microsoft electronic files generally are not acceptable as output for print production. However, Black-and-White files can be output from a high-quality laser printer and then used as camera-ready copy. Camera-ready copy is artwork that can be scanned without further preparation or changes by the plant. Shading (screens) will not photograph well and should be avoided.

Logo for Cheques:

• For Best results send your files in the following formats only:
• EPS, TIFF, BMP and CDR
• JPEG, GIF and WORD files do not produce sharp printed image.

Be sure to send all linked files, including all TIFF and EPS files for artwork placed in your document as well as all printer and screen fonts used.

Colour Work:

All RGB defined colors and files must be converted to CMYK for four-color process production.

Please include a laser proof with your disk, identical to what you expect in return, to verify final output. We cannot be responsible for incorrect output from disk. There will be an additional $75 per hour charge if we are asked to repair or correct a submitted disk.

Hard Copy:

If you do not have an Electronic File for your Logo or Art work.

Please send us a clean printed copy (Preferably printed in Black) e.g: Letterhead or any other Stationery.

• Logo or Artwork from Fax copy cannot be used.

Tips
EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) file format is used to transfer PostScript image information from one program to another. The file includes PostScript code plus a low-resolution representation of the image. Logos, illustrations and graphics that will be color separated should be saved as EPS files.

TIFF (Tag Image File Format) is a widely used file format for exchanging bitmapped images (usually scans) between applications. Black and white line art or grayscale images should be saved as TIFF files. All grayscale artwork must be saved at the size of the finished document at a minimum of 300 dpi – black and white line art at a minimum of 900 dpi.

Always provide a list of fonts used within a document. This allows output technicians to download the appropriate fonts to their image setter or output device. Remember to list all fonts used with imported illustrations, otherwise the output device may substitute a different font.

When supplying PostScript fonts with a job, be sure to supply the printer fonts (also called outline fonts) and screen fonts (bitmap fonts). Both must be available for proper output.

When supplying fonts, don’t forget to supply those used in the creation of EPS files. (They will not show up in your page makeup application on the list of fonts used.)

Don’t mix TrueType and PostScript fonts in the same job. Most printers prefer that you stick with PostScript fonts.

Specify fonts and their style (bold or italic, for example) by using the long menus in your publishing program rather than selecting bold or italic by clicking on a style bar. The menu selection will give you a more accurate representation of the font and style desired. Plus, on the Mac platform, clicking on the style bar allows you to select styles for which fonts don’t actually exist, creating output headaches.

Limit the number of fonts used in each job.

Avoid saving EPS files within EPS files.
