Our company supports QuarkXpress, Adobe Pagemaker, InDesign and Microsoft Publisher. We also support the PDF and Postscript (.ps) formats.

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

• QuarkXpress......  “Collect for Output”
• Pagemaker.........  “Save for Service Provider”
• Publisher............  “Pack and Go”
• InDesign............   “Package”


or as Postscript (.ps) or PDF files created using Adobe Distiller if special utilities are not used, then an additional charge will be required.

All graphic files must be provided as TIFF or EPS files. Other file formats, including JPEG, 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. Files that require changes will have an additional charge.

Include all fonts used in file. When submitting an Illustrator or Freehand document it is suggested that the fonts be converted to outlines. Be sure to embed all fonts when submitting PDF files for print.
A hard copy sample or a PDF of the document is required so we will know what your document should look like. Multi-color documents should be submitted as separations. If a printed sample is unavailable, an additional charge may be required.

Microsoft Office applications CAN NOT 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 an additional charge. We will attempt to match the colors as close as possible.

Some files may require special prepress preparation so they can print properly and may require an additional charge.

Our staff is available to assist you in preparing your files properly so we can meet your time, quality and budget demands.

Many answers to your questions to properly prepare a file for commercial printing output are available under the HELP menu of your graphics applications.
