Our company supports QuarkXpress, Adobe Pagemaker, Microsoft Publisher, InDesign and Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint and Excel). We also support the PDF and Postscript (.ps) formats.

The following application files must be provided using special utilities within the applications for preparation for a printer:

or as Postscript (.ps) or PDF files created using Adobe Distiller. If special utilities are not used, then an additional charge will be required.

• All graphic files must be provided as TIFF or EPS files. Programs that utilize this method of file-saving include: CorelDRAW, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop & Macromedia Freehand. Other file formats will require conversion at an additional charge.
• Full color images and photos to be printed in 4-color process must be prepared in CMYK (NOT RGB).  Spot colors should be identified as Pantone colors. Files that require changes will have an additional charge.
• A hard copy sample of the document is required so we will know what your document will look like.  Multi-colored documents should be submitted as separations. If a printed sample is unavailable, an additional charge will be required.
• Microsoft Office applications cannot be color-separated within the application.  If the documents are to be printed on a printing press, we must use special procedures and tools to separate these files that will require an additional charge. We will attempt to match the colors as closely as possible.

Some files may require special pre-press preparation so they can print properly and may require an additional charge.

Our staff is available to assist you in preparing your files properly so we can meet your time, quality and budget demands.

Many answers to your questions to properly prepare a file for commercial printing output are available in the HELP section of your application, usually found at the top of the screen.
