| Offset |
150 dpi |
| Silk-Screen |
65 dpi |
| Pad Print |
80 dpi |
|

Halftone Photographs
$36.00[g]. Photo in matte or dull finish is required. The quality of our halftone reproduction depends on the quality of the photo furnished. |
Four Color Process
We require disk art, color transparencies or full-color photos up to 8" x 10" for best four color reproduction. Color slides, negatives and printed samples may require additional charges. |

CS2 or lower |
| Adobe® Photoshop |

Font Information
Convert text to paths (outline art). Text then becomes an object and cannot be edited as text. If this is not possible, send in all Screen and Printer Fonts used for all art. |
Colors

File Information
Include all eps and tiff files that are used in creating the document. Tiff files are generally used with color images for 4-color process. Please send all files, including tiff files, at high resolution to ensure quality necessary for printing. We need a copy of all original files used in creating the document. Always keep a copy of the file(s). Please DO NOT send the only copy! Please include a Document Report and a Preference File for the disk so that we can verify we have all of the information.
All imported and linked files must be included with the composite file even if they have been embedded within the document. Quark files should include all imported support files in the same folder in order for the document to print correctly.
Photoshop files should not be any lower than 300 dpi at final size. Please avoid using pict and jpg files since they generally produce low quality reproductions.
We are Mac-based and are unable to use PC fonts. It is necessary to convert type to outlines when PC fonts are used. Please include the following information with your disk:
| - Directory showing the file(s) on the disk |
| - Hard copy of the artwork and special instructions |
| - Match print or color proof |
These prints let us know what is included on the disk and all imprint information needed. If the above is not available, a camera proof will be required $9.50[g]. |
