| Miscellaneous Information |
Fonts
Include all font files. For Trutype fonts there is one file. For Postscript fonts there are two files, a suitcase file and a printer file. Type that is converted to outlines or curves in programs that provide this function do not need font files. |
|
Graphics
Include all linked graphic files. Many programs do not embed a graphics file such as a TIFF. It is only linked. Therefore, to print properly, it must be included on the disk or e-mail. |
|
Trapping/Overprinting
Is is not necessary to trap your files. Trapping will be done electronically at the factory to our specifications. Be sure to check for any unintended overprinting items because these will not trap. |
|
Size/Bleed
The factory will size your art to fit unless you specify otherwise. An additional artwork charge may apply for extending complicated bleeds. |
*If you do not send artwork in either of the above
suggested files, we cannot be responsible for any quality
issues. The better the artwork, the better the product. |
