We prefer to receive Pagemaker, Quark, Illustrator or Photoshop applications.
PDF files will be accepted if they have all embedded fonts and are distilled
for print (hi-res). We do not accept Microsoft Word documents for covers
or text.
ALL graphics must be included with the file. Halftones should be
no less than 300 dpi at their placed size, and line art should be between
400-1200 dpi at their placed size. DO NOT EMBED OR STORE GRAPHICS. For
halftones to print their best, they must have a highlight of no less than
3%, and a shadow of no greater than 90%. This can easily be adjusted in
Photoshop under “curves”.
Graphics should be supplied as Photoshop for bitmapped art and either
grayscale or CMYK mode.
Use
Illustrator or Freehand for line art. If you are suppling art for us to
shoot or scan, please give explicit instructions for placement and sizing
(using low-resolution FPO’s in application files is the best).
All lines or rules in text or covers must be .25 pt or
larger (no hairlines). Anything below this may not hold when on press.
We prefer
postscript fonts for Macintosh platform jobs, and either postscript or
true type for Windows platforms. If using postscript fonts, you must include
both printer and screen fonts. ALL fonts used in your file should be sent
with the job, even if you’re sending postscript or PDF files.

Please be sure to include the following when your job is
ready:
A
complete laser copy of the LATEST version of your text and cover at
100% of the original size with the page information and crop marks printed
on them. It is very important to receive the latest version because
that is what we will match your electronic files to. If your lasers
are not final, then we will not know if you’ve made changes and
will not be able to catch mistakes. We want you to be completely satisfied
and this is an important part of our quality control.
All
electronic files including the text, cover, fonts and graphics used
to build your job.
All
non-electronic art (anything we need to scan, shoot, etc).
A
sheet outlining the electronic information we should find on disk
Please
use our prepress form and fax it to:
847-568-0549
when placing an order.
EMAIL
OUTPUT FILES TO: ripthis@digitalpalace.com
No
files will be worked on until we have all the proper paperwork needed
to proceed. Thank you.
