File Setup

Please include all supporting documents, artwork imported into your file, and copies of all typefaces, including those used in the EPS files.

Make sure all images are saved as CMYK without DCS color separations. Scan your images for the Arizona Digital Press at no more than 300 dpi at 25% of the final output size. Resolutions higher than 300 dpi at 25% size can create excess RIP time for which charges may apply.

Save images created in Photoshop as a CMYK .EPS, CMYK .PSD, or CMYK. TIFF, not RGB. Avoid using PICTS & JPEG files.

Save artwork created in Illustrator or Freehand as an EPS file. Create all fonts to outline, and, or include those fonts with your document support files. QuarkXpress files should have each page saved as an .EPS so we have greater control of the print specifications. If they are not saved as an EPS file, you may be charged for the time it takes for the conversion.

Provide a color copy of your layout including; trim, fold or perf marks clearly indicated. If we do not have anything to check against, before processing your job, we have no way of knowing if it's correct!

Realize that only 15% of PMS colors can be accurately rendered using CMYK colors. If you have questions about matching PMS colors, call and we'll give you the required information.

Large Format printing
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Save Photoshop files as .EPS files without DCS separations, as CMYK .PSD or CMYK .TIF files without compression.

Resolution of Photoshop files (at printed size) should be set at 72 dpi, or 300 dpi @ 25% final size (our RIP will do the rest).

Photoshop files should be CMYK for Edge/Inkjet and banners.

High quality drum scans will produce better results than flatbed scanners.

Do not enlarge Illustrator or Freehand files, rather reduce them to 25% final output size.
