| Sometimes the transmission of certain files, fonts and images from computer to computer may change or become corrupted. Meaning, when we receive a file it might not look the same on our screen as it did on yours.
With the provided instructions you will be able to send us your file in a format which rarely reflows.This will allow us to create proofs and a finished product more quickly and efficiently.
The issues we encounter are simple to fix.
- Create document size to exact dimension.
- When saving a PDF that contains more than one page:
save as pages; cover, page 1, page 2, page 3..... back,
DO NOT save printer spreads.
- NEVER specify the colors as RED, GREEN, etc. always use their Pantone name.
Note: 286u will print differently than 286cvu.
- If you are creating a 4-color process job be sure to check the pictures and graphics, they need to be CMYK, not RGB.
- If you are creating anything less than a 4-color process job the photos need to be one Pantone color or a grayscale TIFF.
- When placing images in the document, be sure that they are flattened jpg, eps or tiff. (Note: even though InDeisgn is compatible with psd and pdf in some cases the fonts and pictures do not embed properly.)
- Avoid using:
TimesNewRoman - Italic
Avenir
Frutiger
