Our Equipment

We have completely updated our prepress department with some of the most recent technology. We have both PC and Macintosh computers.

  • Spot color separations are required. RGB and CMYK files will incur additional charges, as they will need to be changed to spot color. Please reference PMS colors on your purchase order and within your digital files.
  • Proofs of spot color jobs can be sent via fax or as an emailed pdf file. Please let customer service know which proofing option you prefer.

Spot Color Files

Our Current Programs

  • Update our current programs to Illustrator CS5 Photoshop CS5
  • We can accept files in the above programs (and earlier versions). We can also accept eps files, color separated PDF files, simple PC Microsoft Word and Excel documents (black and white text only, no logos), and one color tif files.

Not Recommendable

  • PDF files that are not color separated. Publisher documents should be saved as color separated pdf files (save as postscript and then convert to pdf). Straight Photoshop documents are not recommended. JPEG, GIF, BMP, PICT, and WMF files are for web and screen display and are usually not suitable for printing purposes. We do not have the programs Corel Draw, Freehand, InDesign, and therefore they must be put into a format we can use (see above). Any file originating from one of these programs may have compatibility issues. We recommend that you contact us before sending files in any of our “not recommended” formats.

All computer monitors are calibrated differently. Images should not be used to match colors.
