CheckList |
| These are items you will need to supply for us to output from your computer file. See 'Film Output' for your other option. |
| 1. |
Fonts |
|
PostScript fonts generally output better than TrueType fonts. When sending Illustrator files, be sure and convert all type to outlines. In Corel Draw, convert the fonts to curves. This will eliminate the chance of a font substitution. For all other files, send along the fonts used within the publication. |
|
| Special Note On Mac Fonts!
When sending us Mac Fonts please send them on a Mac disk. We require the actual Mac Resource fork to properly capture the font. If they are simply copied to a disk or CD the Resource Fork does not come through. | |
| 2. |
Placed Files |
|
Be sure to send along all source files for placed graphics. For full process color jobs, convert all bitmap files to CMYK. RGB files will only output the black plate, resulting in a grayscale image. For the best result with bitmap images, ensure a resolution of at least 300 DPI. |
| 3. |
Hardcopy of Output |
|
Provide a color or black and white proof of the file to be output to film. This shuld be provided at 100%. A reduced image could cause scaling problems further into production. |
| 4. |
Fifth or Spot Colors |
|
Provide additional proofs for all spot color separations and/or additional inks to be used in the final production. |
| 5. |
FPO's |
|
Clearly mark and/or indicate all FPO's (For Position Only). | | |
