File Sizing
The size of the final piece prior to cutting or folding should
be the same as the document size listed under IMAGE SIZE in the application
program. For example, a 6" x 4" postcard should be set up on a
6" x 4" page not 8.5" x 11". The resolution should be
set at 300 DPI(ppi) minimum.
If your job contains bleeds, you MUST allow a .25 inch border containing
no live area (important text and graphics) for cutting purposes. The 'front'
and 'back' sides of a document should be setup as two seperate pages; do
not create both sides in a single file or page.
Please download the appropriate template if you have any questions regarding
file size and setup. Fonts
All type (fonts) MUST be converted to outlines (paths).
Setting Up Your Files In Adobe Photoshop CMYK: All scans
should be converted to CMYK and be a minimum of 300 dpi.
If you are creating your images in an RGB Colorspace use the following CMYK
Setup so that the colors in your files convert correctly to our press specification:
Adobe Photoshop
CMYK Settings: SWOP (Coated); Dot Gain: 20%; Seperation
Type: GCR; Black Generation: Medium; Black Ink Limit: 100%; Total Ink

Setting Up Your Files In Adobe Illustrator: We accept versions older than
5.0. Save all placed (embedded) images as 300 DPI CMYK
TIFF files (no LZW). If the files are linked
and not embedded you need to send the linked files along with your Adobe
Illustrator files.
Setting Up Your Files In Freehand or CorelDRAW:
We currently DO NOT support native Freehand or CorelDRAW
files. All files created in CorelDRAW must be exported
as .EPS files or Adobe Illistrator .AI
files. Making sure to include all fonts that were used in the creation
of the document. The only other option is to rasterize to a bitmapped
image (TIFF or JPEG) all final artwork.
We cannot offer a 24-48 hour turnaround on CorelDRAW
files.
Setting Up Your Files In Other Applications: The aplication you are using
must be able to export files in the following formats:
1. As a postscript file. (EPS or PDF)
2. As a vector image. (EPS or AI)
3. As a 300 DPI @ a 1:1 size ratio bitmapped image. (TIFF
or JPEG)
Supported File Formats: EPS (Vector)
TIFF (Bitmapped) (NO LZW compression)
