Illustrator Instructions

We can accept PC and Mac files from Illustrator up to version 9.0.

Set your page size to the trim size and include 1/8" bleeds when appropriate.

Make sure that all linked graphics are included with the Illustrator file when you order.

Be sure to convert all colors to both process and CMYK

Convert all text to outlines in the type menu.

Set your output resolution to 2540. Extremely important in version 9.0

Do not do trapping.

Print out your own separations to check for unintentional overprints.

Cutting will take place as indicated by the page size, so no trim marks are necessary.

If you have a large black area, set the color for the black as follows: C=40%, M=40%, Y=20%, K=100%.
