:: composite files. ps and .prn;
:: open files created in programs: Corel Draw, InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, etc. Fonts in these files should be converted to curves. If the conversion of the curves is not possible, a form of file delivery please agree with DTP Department. To open files, you must include a preview of work in jpg. In the case of open files (eg. CDR, ai), plus a fee for the preparation of print file calculated according to the time spent (Imaging Studio cost is $ 25/HR)-a minimum of $ 40.
2. Multiple page documents please send in a single file.
3. If the image ends flush with the edge of the page (the so-called. graphics to bleed), you must add a minimum of 3 mm bleed. It is also recommended that you add the cut marks, in particular, when the work will be saved in a format that does not specify the area.
4. The resolution of the bitmap should contain between 250 dpi and 300 dpi resolution (less than 250 dpi can adversely affect the quality of printed objects).
