Digital Output Checklist

1. Hard Copies

Include separations to postscript level printer (not only a composite laser). If you don’t get the separation you expect from your laser printer – neither will we.

2. Fonts

There are thousands of fonts – it’s quicker and easier if you provide your fonts in a folder.

3. Disks

Please check your disks (Zip, CD, etc.) to ensure they work properly before sending them to us.

4. Scans

Check scans for resolution and colour space. Using 72 dpi images from the Internet result in bitmapped output. Use at least 150 dpi images for output.
