Hints for preparing your files for print

28 June 2010 18:49pm by achak

We have gathered several handy tips which might be helpful when preparing for a print job:

  • Supply a hardcopy printout with your files. This hardcopy should be created from the final files
  • Try to structure files in a logical way e.g. use separate folders (directories) for all document files, pictures, illustrations etc
  • Outline all fonts
  • Supply all images/links used in the document. If supplying a PDF, ensure images are not down-sampled
  • Check to see if the printer can accommodate your file types (PDF usually is the safest bet)
  • Make sure all images are in a suitable resolution for your print medium (e.g. recommended 300DPI for business collaterals)
