  Prepress guidelines  
   
 

Our goal is to provide you with first-rate printing on time, every time.

Because the print process begins with you, the designer, we need your help to achieve that goal.

Using the following check list will help to ensure that your files provide the pieces necessary to complete your project promptly. Any omission of these items may cause a delay in your project and may also require additional charges.



Please check your files

  Are all colors correctly defined?  
  Are bleeding areas extended 1/8" (.125) beyond the page edge?  
  Are all the photos at the proper resolution and in the proper mode? (CMYK, Grayscale or Duotone)  
  Are all graphics linked and not embedded?  
  Are all strokes or rules defined as 3/10 of a point (0.3) or above and not as hairlines?  
  Are folds accurately measured and panels set up accurately?  
  Have you done a spell check and edited for typos etc.? (You are responsible for the accuracy and correctness of your copy.)
