- What file formats and applications do you accept?
- How long does it take for you to complete my order?
- What is a "proof"?
- Why do I need to look at a proof if I've already given you everything I need to have done?
- Do I still need to approve a proof if I bring my work in on disk?
- How do I go about getting an estimate from you?
- What file formats and applications do you accept?We accept all native application formats from the list below for each platform. We prefer print ready pdf files whenever possible. For Macintosh, we have the Adobe Creative Suite 2 (Indesign, Illustrator, Acrobat & Photoshop), Quark 6.0 and Freehand 10. For PC, we'd prefer you send us a print ready PDF file with fonts embedded. If you'd still prefer to send us your file, we accept the Adobe Creative Suite 2 and MS Office Suite 2003. Please note that we may not have the fonts used in your publication so embedding them in a pdf is always best.
- How long does it take for you to complete my order?
- What is a "proof"?
A proof is a way of ensuring that we have set your type accurately and that everything is positioned according to your requirements. Typically, we will produce a proof which will be sent to you online or printed on paper which can be viewed in our store or delivered to you in person.
On multiple color jobs, we can produce a color proof on our color output device to show how the different colors will appear.
- Why do I need to look at a proof if I've already given you everything I need to have done?
We employ human beings to produce your work and, last time we checked, humans are not perfect. Your approval on the final proof is assurance that you have looked over every aspect of our work and approve it as accurate. It benefits everyone if errors are caught in the proofing process rather than after the job is completed and delivered.
- Do I still need to approve a proof if I bring my work in on disk?
- How do I go about getting an estimate from you?
Well, since you are here, we would suggest you use our online estimate request form. Otherwise, the best way to ensure that we get all the information necessary to do an accurate quote, give us a call and talk with one of our customer service representatives.
