ELECTRONIC ARTWORK SUBMITTAL
Artwork can be sumitted via the following formats:
Before beginning your design and to help prevent positioning errors, we
recommend using our design templates.
We accept all MAC and PC files in acceptable programs only. These include
current versions of QuarkXpress, PageMaker, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign,
FreeHand and CorelDraw. Unacceptable programs include Microsoft Word, Publisher
and PowerPoint. We cannot guarantee the use of any non-MAC PC file. Incorrect
files, or any file created in unacceptable programs may incur additional costs.
All files must have a completed laser output, printer and screen fonts, and attached
or embedded graphic files. Please do not apply traps, we will provide that
service at no charge. Send file copies only - never originals. Fax or send a
laser output of your file expectations with your order information.
Production time begins with acceptable output from your file. |
| |
ARTWORK/DISK/FILM/BRASS DIE STORAGE
All artwork, submitted computer disks, brass dies and submitted filmwork
(including process films) are kept for three years. At that point, if we have
not received a request for return, materials are discarded without notice. |
| |
ARTWORK (Camera Ready)
Refers to clean, black and white copy that is color separated (if more than one
color) and sized to fit the item plus bleeds. No fax or photocopies. Do not
staple or fold art in image areas. Screened areas should be keylined in solid
form and indicated for what % screen should be installed. We do not recommend
shooting pre-screened copy as some detail is usally lost. Quality can only be
as good as the artwork you provide. |
| |
ARTWORK AND COPY ERRORS
Customer submitted artwork is reviewed before production and customer submitted
disks are pre-flighted before output. We pride ourselves on making every effort
to ensure accuracy and that your expectations are met. However, we are not
liable for errors in customer submitted art, films or designer's files which
inadvertently become part of the product. Additionally, when a remake is
warranted, the order will be produced according to the original specifications,
without alteration. |

PREP CHARGE/COPY PREPARATION
If your order requires additional prep to ensure optimum results, you will be
notified of any additional charges. We would be pleased to quote typesetting or
copy preparation charges from submitted mock-ups. |
| |
FILM SUBMISSION
Submit color separated, composite film negatives, (right reading, emulsion
down), sized to fit the item plus bleeds (1/8"). A 150 or 175 line screen
is recommended. Be certain all traps (color fits) have been applied; one-to-one
color fit may not register on press and could incur additional charges. Films
should include registrations marks, crop marks and color indication. Four color
process films with a solid black background should be set up with an under
color of 40% process cyan and include a color proof. PMS films combining an
overall or large solid background with a screen area of the same color, should
include a separate film of just the solid area. This allows us to run the
screen clean and double bump the solid area if necessary. |
| |
VARNISH/AQUEOUS COATING
Available in gloss or matte finish. A clear finish that seals the ink, offering
protection against smearing and scuffing. Adds no durability to the product.
Either an overall gloss varnish or gloss aqueous coating (at the manufacturer's
discretion) is applied FREE. Matte finish and spot coatings are available for
an additional charge. |
| |
ADDITIONAL NOTES
To avoid problems and delays, please submit composite and color separated, full
size laser proofs generated from your submitted disk(s) of all files to be
printed. Remember, if your files will not print out properly for you, they
probably will not print out properly for us. Charges to correct or alter files,
etc. are based on the number of films and complexity of the file set-up. You
will be notified of all additional costs.
