TIPS FOR ENSURING PRINT ACCURACY AND BUDGET EFFECTIVENESS
To get the best price for your color brochure printing project, consider the following information when preparing your files for print.
Include The Brochure Fonts
This seems so obvious, but you will be amazed how often print and screen fonts are missing when print jobs are delivered to the printer.Missing fonts will bring your brochure project to a screeching halt, possibly causing AA charges for another round of flightchecking your files.If in doubt which fonts are needed (especially PC users) then burn a disk with all your fonts and send that along. A common problem transferring Mac fonts arises when PC networks or PC formatted disks delete the resource fork that contains the Macintosh font information rendering the fonts unuseable. To compress fonts with Mac OSX for transfer via FTP, email, CD-R or DVD-R, right click (control-click) the folder and "Create Archive". Mac OS9 users should compress fonts into an SIT file using Stuffit.

Include All Artwork
Sometimes missing fonts can be substituted by your printer, but missing art cannot be corrected, unless it's a regular job that the printer has done before, and keeps common artwork on file.Low resolution artwork isn't recommended, but if that's what you send, that's what you'll see on the final brochure. Minim DPI recommended is 200. Anything less than 200 dpi risks pixellation of the image.
Bleed Artwork
Art, color blocks and photos need to extend beyond the page size (.125 of an inch is recommended) if bleeds are part of your brochure's design. Better to leave a gap between photos and the edge than to align the photo directly on the page edge.

Creating Print-Ready PDF's
PDF documents are great. We appreciate, and even prefer using them in the pre-press process, but only if they are created print ready. Print ready means the PDF includes all fonts, all artwork is embedded and not downsampled less than 300 dpi, spot colors, if used, are retained, and the brochure pages contain bleed. Contact us if you need assistance creating print-ready PDF files for your color brochure printing project.
