Sending Your Material On Disk: We recommend this process to ensure the best quality images and the capability for making inexpensive changes to your documents.
- Please use one of the following software programs: Photoshop 5.0 or Illustrator 8.0. Earlier versions of these programs are also acceptable. PC versions of Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or Gerber Graphix Advantage 6.2 are also acceptable.

Alternative software programs may require additonal time and expense to transfer. Please call our Art Director for additional information. We accept Iomega 100 MB Zip disks and 3.5 inch floppy disks. Please provide disks in Macintosh format.

- Your disks must contain all necessary fonts - both screen and printer. TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) and EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) files must also be provided for photos or logos.

-For full color art CMYK resolution must be 2x the line count at 100%. For example, if you want your work printed at 55 lines, you must submit work at 110 lines.

- Please provide a printed proof with your disks. A B/W proof is acceptable for 1-color jobs. All other multicolor jobs require a color printed proof. Colors should be indicated by Pantone numbers. Mark your proofs "CMYK" if the job is full-color.
