Preparing
your files for print
When you send us a digital file for film or printing more comes along than
just your PageMaker, QuarkXPress and other desktop publishing document.
(Please check LIST of PROGRAMS that we accept) You have to include Fonts
and Images as well. If you follow this basics requirements for sending files
we will eliminate most common problems that might prevent from processing
your job.
Application File
This is the actual digital file that you created in PageMaker, QuarkXpress,
Adobe Illustrator, or some other desktop publishing program. (Please check
LIST of PROGRAMS that we accept) Before you send an application file:
Be sure we have the same software, same version.)
If you've upgraded before us, you may have to 'save down' your file to
the version we are using. Any program created other than Adobe programs,
QuarkXPress and other major 'professional' applications, it would be best
to create all text to curves or outline then convert them into EPS files
or consider submitting a PostScript or PDF file for output.
Please submit a proof of JPEG or PDF file for us to approve (This is not
a color proof).
Fonts
Even when you use common, classic typefaces you'll need to send the copies
of the actual font files that your document contains. Fonts can vary form
vendor to vendor and differences exist between the TrueType and Type 1
versions of fonts. If you don't supply you own fonts the Atlantis Media
Design may substitute your own version. This might work. Or it might result
in subtle or obvious differences in your document including text reflow.
- Check your font license agreement. Generally it is an acceptable
practice to supply a copy to a printer in order to output your job.
- Send both screen and printer fonts (for Type 1 fonts).
- If you have embedded EPS files that include text not converted to
curves, send the fonts for those images as well.
- Avoid mixing TrueType and Type 1 fonts in the same file.
- Send the same version of the font (that is, if you used TrueType fonts
but send the Type 1 version of that typeface you may see errors).
- You could embed all your fonts or convert text to curves to avoid
having to send font files. However, this isn't always possible or advisable.
Specially project like brochure, booklet or annual reports. Converting
text to curves will increase your file size
.
Graphics
Send copies of all your images used in your document. If you've practiced
good file size management then most of your graphics are linked, not embedded
in your document. We will need to have access to those graphics, otherwise
your application file may have only low-quality preview images in the
file or no graphic at all.
- Check your font license agreement. Generally it is an acceptable
practice to supply a copy to a printer in order to output your job.
- Use EPS and TIFF images. If you must use other formats, JPEG.
- Convert RGB images to CMYK.
- Don't change graphics file names unless you first re-link them in
your application file.
- If your image contanise other than CMYK make sure to format your image
to DCS 2.0 with additional color layer.
- In some instances we might want you to also send original format graphics
(Freehand, Illustrator, Photoshop files) in addition to the placed EPS/TIFF
images in your page layout application ‹ for troubleshooting purposes.
