Ins and Outs of File Formats
Freehand / Illustrator
This is our preferred packages, the reason being is it is a graphic
design package and changes can be made easily to the design (traps
spreads, typesetting etc). This is also the trade houses preferred
package.
Photoshop Files (PSD)
Photoshop files are more suitable for images (photos), not suitable
for text, making a change in Photoshop is not easy because it does
not allow you to easily add text.
Coral Draw
We can print from Coral Draw
PDF
We can print from some PDF files (if they are set up correct).
JPEG
We can only use JPEG file to print from (image only) but it must
be 300dpi. We would only print from a JPEG if we had to. You do
not create art in a JPEG file.
Microsoft Publisher, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft
Publisher
No we do not print from these as they are only at 72dpi. There is
a service charge for converting these files and it is done on a
job by job basis.
