Ad Preparation Guide

Getting Started

Welcome!

This guide provides tips on how to correctly prepare your files and projects for printing.

First things first:
Notify your account executive that you’ll be submitting your project to our Commercial Printing Department.

  • We recommend customers send “Test Files” whenever the customer is new, has not sent us work electronically in the past, or is changing formats or applications for jobs done previously. The earlier in the design process we get the test file, the better. We will analyze your files and give you any feedback necessary to improve those files. This will ensure the job proceeds smoothly once it is in production. There is no charge for our test file analysis.
  • You may deliver projects to us on physical media. We will return physical media upon reasonable request. For more information on how to get files to us, click on “Delivering to Us” at the left.
  • Every effort will be made to contact you and resolve any file problems that may occur prior to deadline. However, we are not responsible for unprintable files submitted after the deadline.

You will need the Acrobat Reader to view downloadable documents from this web site.
