Daily Printing & Graphics

We offer professional printing from any Mac or PC file including QuarkXpress, Indesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, PDF, Microsoft Office and all popular file formats with browser based file uploading. For professional-quality printed pieces, including brochures, stationery, catalogs, presentation folders, newsletters and business cards, there is no substitute for quality printing on quality papers.

How to prepare files:

Preparing your document properly is the most important part of the printing process. Remember, we print directly from your file without altering it in any way. If we need to adjust your file, there will be an extra charge. (depends on how much we need to work on)

We want to make sure that you are completely satisfied with our printing, for this reason, we are including the following guidelines for you to follow when submitting your printing work to us.

Document Size:

When you select the size of the document you need, leave an additional 1/8th of an inch all around for bleeding if your document bleeds. This will ensure that your entire art and text will be visible once it is cut to it's final size. Make sure that no important art or text is in the bleeding area. You should also have at least 1/8" inside the final size.

You also need to leave at least 1/8" from the edge of the final document size to where the important information or artwork begins inside the bounds of the document. This means that the area where important artwork (logos, text, etc.) and information will reside on an 8 1/2" x 11" has an actual size of 8 1/4" x 10 3/4". We are not responsible if important artwork or text extends beyond specifications and is cut off! (extra charge to fix the problem)

Image and Resolution:

All images must be submitted at 300 dpi at 100% scale (of the print size) and must be submitted in uncompressed TIFF format. They must all be converted to CMYK colors. Remember, a higher quality image resolution does not always result in better print quality. Excessive images resolutions (beyond 300 dpi) will only dramatically increase your file size and in most cases will not improve the print quality. Furthermore, the extra time required to handle these larger files could delay your turnaround time. Vector-based graphics suitable for type and logos should be submitted at 100% scale and converted to EPS CMYK format with all fonts converted to outlines. We will not be responsible for output from an EPS which contains fonts that are not converted to curves. (if you don't know how to convert to outlines, please be sure to include all fonts used in the document.)

Color:

We do not print PMS colors! The PMS and Pantone colors need to be converted to CMYK colors. Please, do not submit using RGB, Pantone or PMS colors! Avoid unexpected results by designing and submitting your files in CMYK only.

Software:

We accepts files from both Macintosh and Windows platforms. We accept files from the following programs:

* Adobe Illustrator up to version 11.0 CS1
(convert to Illustrator EPS with fonts set to outlines).

* Adobe (Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign)
(Convert fonts to outlines. Don't forget to package your document, and all colors in CMYK).

* QuarkXpress up to version 6.5
(must include fonts, links and a hard copy. All colors in CMYK).

* Microsoft Office package (Word, Power Point, Excel, and Publisher)

* PDF (Please don't forget to embed all fonts)
