We accept files from PageMaker up to version 6.5
from both Mac and PC. |
| • |
Set your page size to the trim size of your finished
product (i.e. business card's page size is 3.5" x 2").
|
| • |
Include 1/8" bleed if applicable. |
| • |
Include all fonts. |
| • |
If you are using a PC version of PageMaker, be aware
that your fonts may not work properly because we must
run them through converter software to work on the mac.
Using a standard font like "Times" will help eliminate
any problems. |
| • |
Do not apply text attributes such as bold, or italics
with the help of PageMaker. If you need a word bolded,
use a font which is already bolded. ie. Times Bold |
| • |
If you are using a raster/bitmapped graphic, the
resolution must not exceed 350 dpi. Vector graphics
should not exceed 1200 dpi. These resolutions are assuming
the graphic has been sized correctly to be placed at
100% in PageMaker with no reduction or enlargement needed.
|
| • |
Be sure to convert all colors and graphics to CMYK
from RGB |
| • |
When you import (place) a graphic and the message
asks you if you want to store the graphic in the file,
choose NO. This will link the graphic, keeping
your PageMaker file small. |
| • |
All graphics must be in EPS format. |
| • |
When you have everything set up correctly, do a
"save as" and rename the file. This will make the file
as small as possible. PageMaker doesn't automatically
reduce the file to it's smallest size everytime you
save it. |
| • |
Put all the linked graphics, fonts and PageMaker
file in a folder. |
| • |
Zip or Stuff the folder. |
| • |
If you use a black background, set the color for
the black as follows: C=40%, M=40%, Y=20%, K=100%. |
