Introduction

Every industry comes with its own language. We want to know everything about your business so we can provide you with the right final product.

And we also want you to feel confident in the processes we employ to get your projects done. So we make every attempt to educate you about our business. We've collected several resources over the years and have posted them here to help you feel comfortable about speaking our language.

Preparing your files for print:

- When possible, send PDF Files for print
- When collecting for output to send to print, don't forget to include all images and fonts (including screen and printer fonts)
- Include 1/8" bleed on all 4 sides of your document
- Remember when printing a Four Color Process job to convert all images and colors to CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black)
- Always link your graphics instead of embedding them
- Do not rename graphic files after you put your file on disk. If the files are named incorrectly, they will not link properly and cause delays as well as increase output costs
- Set black text to 100% black (Not 4/Color text)
- For large solid areas of black, consider setting the color to 100% black, 40% cyan, & 40% magenta to get a Rich Black
- Submit a hard copy with your files when possible
- Create a copy of everything before sending
