PrePress

More and more people are trying to reduce their printing costs by creating the artwork themselves. Although admirable, this sometimes results in even more costs, as the piece may need to be re-done properly. Please see 'Preparing Your Artwork' for information on creating the artwork properly, to truly realize cost savings.

We provide professional graphic design services for those looking for that 'polished' look. By providing content electronically, we can work from your files and pass along those savings to you.

We are a PC based design facility. We can take in Macintosh files and incorporate them into your piece. These files will need to be in a cross-platform format, such as: AI, EPS, TIF, JPG. Please include the proper Windows file extension to any Macintosh files sent.
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.

Proofing

We do the best we can to assure accuracy from the information provided. We sometimes make errors. Therefore, before we will print any job, we require an authorization signature.
Traditionally, we will fax the proof artwork to the client. Then await response for corrections, or approval. This procedure works well for simple one or two color projects. This expedites the entire preparation process. 
Full color projects require color proofs that do not allow this procedure to be effective. We can provide a color proof off of our color ink jet printer, or, provide a PDF file.
A Portable Document Format (PDF) file will show every page and color used in a document. In order to view a PDF file, you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader. This software is available from Adobe Systems, free of charge. To download this software, simply click on the icon below - "Get Acrobat Reader".

Film Output

We will output high resolution film for files sent to us in PostScript or PDF format.
To create the required PS (PostScript) file, simply download the appropriate PPD's / drivers for your operating system. 
The files can be found on our Download page.
Create a PDF file from your application software. Please be sure to embed all fonts.
