Materials
Include all elements with the job. Please submit PDF files as final art that are created properly by embedding fonts and convert all art to CMYK. Include all source documents (InDesign, etc.), fonts, high resolution graphics (Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, etc.). Make sure to include both the Screen and Printer fonts. We suggest you use Open Type or Type 1 PostScript fonts since the TrueType may cause problems during prepress file processing. Pages should be built to trim size. Include an 1/8” bleed for elements that extend off the page and use 1/4” for type safety inside the page. Do not use the predefined “hairline” rule width. A minimum rule width of .50 points is required. Convert type to “Outlines” in Illustrator, and submit all supporting artwork. Photoshop files should be 300 dpi and either CMYK or Grayscale, not RGB. Files that are scaled in Photoshop more than 130% will not print without pixelation.
