One approach is to supply RGB files, and the other is to take responsibility for supplying CMYK files. Either approach is valid, each with positives and negatives.

  • Frequently Asked Prepress Questions
    Frequently Asked Prepress Questions What file formats do you accept? PDF only. That is the only format our workflow will accept. What is a PDF? PDF (or Portable Document Format) is a cross platform file format that anyone can read and print from any computer. PDFs are an excellent format for sending file to commercial printers. What are the most common problems with PDFs? A well made PDF is an amazing document. All the elements necessary for printing are contained in the PDF. It is compressed, making it easy to send electronically and it keeps its integrity so that what you see on your moni- tor is what will print on the page. However, not all PDFs are well made. The most common problems in creating PDFs for printing are: • Fonts are not embedded. This can cause output software to convert one font to another. • RGB color is used. This will cause output software to convert colors. • Low resolution photos are used. This affects reproduction quality. How do I create a PDF? It depends on the program you are using. We can supply print and export settings for commonly used programs. How do I get my files to you? Once your PDF is ready, you can use our FTP server to upload it to us. Each of our customers have their own dedicated, password protected, partitions on our server. If you are a new customer, you will receive instructions on how to upload files. How do I set up my publication for mailing? Postal regulations are very specific and often very confusing.
