Fonts
The single biggest reason for files not printing correctly.
List all fonts used in your document including the manufacturer,
style variant etc. If possible, use only PostScript fonts
not True Type ones.
Linked Graphics & Scanned Files
The second biggest reason for output problems. Include with
your document files any imported EPS, TIFFs, etc. All current
DTP programs only create a link to imported graphic files.
If they cannot be found when printing your document, a low
resolution screen bitmap will be printed instead. Save scanned
images as EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) or TIFF file formats
rather than PICS, PCX, WMF, BMP etc as these are the most
stable type when outputting to an imagesetter. DO NOT USE
CUT & PASTE to place scans or graphics into your documents
if an "Import" or "Place" command is supported by your application.
Laser Proofs
Include laser proofs with your job. Your laser is the only
way we can check that your files have printed correctly.
If you are having separations done, send lasers of each
separation plus a composite print.
Mediums Supported
As well as normal PC and MAC formatted floppy disks we accept
files on 230 / 640 MB 90mm (3.5") MO (Magneto Optical) disks,
IOMEGA ZIP 100/250 disks, 5.25 CD-ROMs, DVD+R/-R/+RW and external firewire
harddisks. Only include on your disks those files that are
to be output (including imported graphic files). We transfer
and keep your files on our server for up to 2 weeks after
your job is done but please remember to keep backups of any discs you send to us.
Output Settings
Please indicate clearly on
your written instruction / order any special settings required
when outputting your files. All film is output at 133 LPI
Positive, Right Reading Emulsion Down at 100% scaling unless
otherwise indicated by you. Bromide is output at 100 LPI.
We can output up to 200 LPI on film with a plotting resolution
of between 1500 dpi and 3500 dpi. Check with us if you are
not sure which settings are required or speak to whoever
is doing the final printing.
