INFORMATION
This folowing information is intended to guide our clients who wish
to provide press-ready layouts on disk. All files intended for direct
press output MUST indicate cut and crop marks. Your supplied proofs
will be used as a guide for final output. All color printing is done
as process. If you are simply sending images to us for use in the creation
of your layout, please use one of the graphics file formats listed below.
Not adhering to
specifications can significantly delay delivery of your product and
add additional costs. Please talk to one of our graphics people before
submitting any discs or before doing any work.
- We can accept
Mac/PC formatted CD-Roms only. Do not use CDRW discs or CDR discs
intended for use on consumer audio CD recorders.
- If you are laying
out your own design for direct press output, flattened Tiff or PDF
files are required. Files for disc face printing need to be submitted
as spot color sep files unless process printing is to be used.
- Be sure all
bleeds are at least 1/8" and keep all text and images
at least 1/8" from cut edges.
- Submitting text
on a disc speeds up production, eases proofing and is highly recommended
if a lot of text is contained in your layout and we are creating it
here. Please save all text as a generic "text" document, unless we
have the program here. (contact us first)
- If we are outputting
directly from your press-ready files, be sure to save all images in
CMYK and include cut marks,
- A
proper color proof is REQUIRED or an additional charge will be added
to your order.
- You must include
all fonts used in your layout.
- Spot
color printing on the CD face printing is standard
on all retail CD packages. Process printing is available at an additional
charge.
- Color & B/W
files being suppled for layout should be saved as Tiff images at a
minimum of 300 DPI (full size). Line art should be saved as BMP, EPS,
or Tiff at 600 DPI (300 minimum, full size)
- Unless your
monitor is calibrated to exacting standards, color accuracy is difficult
to achieve. We print to the highest standards in the industry and
guarantee pleasing color, but we can't guarantee absolute color matches.
- MISTAKES
TO AVOID! The most common mistake we see are files created at
screen resolution of 72 to 100 DPI. While we can print these images
the quality will be greatly reduced. Failure to include bleeds in
your layouts may result in incomplete coverage of the printed material.
