Setting
up a Large Format Colour file for output |
| |
Create documents as you would for normal colour print
output, but keep these guidelines in mind:
1. Use your preferred layout software (i.e., Quark, PageMaker,
InDesign, etc.). Use Freehand, Illustrator or Corel for vector
elements only. Photopaint or Photoshop are for raster images
only. (Avoid complex layouts in drawing software/raster
software).
2. Colour scans should be in CMYK for best results.
3. Convert duotones to CMYK EPS format for placement in the
layout software.
4. For best image quality save scans as "EPS" binary format,
rather than "TIFF"
5. Resolution of any raster images should be 100 pixels per inch
at finished size.
6. Lay out your document at final size (100%), at half size (to be
enlarged 200%) or one quarter size (to be enlarged 400%), etc.
(i.e. Avoid odd scaling, eg: 523.23%)
7. If you want bleed on the final print, the image must be an
additional _” larger on all sides.
8. Like all CMYK printers, spot or PantoneÆ colour will be
simulated to the best of the printers’ ability. If there is a specific
colour you wish to have matched precisely, be sure to highlight
it and we will make the necessary adjustments to reproduce it
as closely as possible.
9. The printer type along with the media and lamination
combinations used, offer you many alternatives. If you are not
sure about which media to use or have any questions and
concerns, give us a call and we can help you sort out the
options and make the right decisions.
10. In order to get the job done right the first time, a proof is
always provided to you on all large format jobs. This avoids
extra costs in production to both yourself and PacBlue.
