Do You Have Everything?

Before sending your job to us, make sure everything is correct!

  1. Is the document set up to the correct size? If bleeds are used, are they set up correctly? Incorrect sizes will cause production delays and additional charges may apply.

  2. Have you defined your colors properly and consistently between layout and graphics applications? 4-Color process is saved as CMYK, and spot color is saved as spot color. Do not use Auto or Registration colors within any layout program! Please remove any unused colors from the document.

  3. Are all images in the correct color and file format? Color is set to CMYK, spot or grayscale with NO RGB OR LAB COLORS.

  4. Are all fonts used correctly without additional font attributes being applied? Make sure all font messages are resolved.

  5. If "Collecting for Output," make sure all fonts and images are included before sending the file. Missing fonts or images will cause production delays.

  6. If PDF'ing the document, make sure the correct size and Distiller settings are used. Distiller settings are available here.

  7. Did you open your PDF file and check the contents? Test and double check your files with laser printer proofs. Although not required, it is very helpful if you can send the most recent version proofs of your project since we use them to plan the job and to verify output.
