Big plots can equal big bucks, but don't panic! Following these simple tips can help you save time and money.
DOCUMENT SPECS
First of all, think about the size of your document, whether it's color or black & white (grayscale), and paper type (bond, vellum, mylar, or glossy) all affect the price of the plot.
JOB SUBMISSION
Submit your files on removeable media (CD, Zip, iPod, USB jump-drive, firewire hard drive, etc.). Most common software programs are supported (Acrobat, InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Powerpoint*, and AutoCAD*) for Windows and MacOS. Freehand, Microsoft Publisher, Excel, and Microsoft Word are NOT supported at this time.
*These formats may have problems.
FILE FORMAT
Using a generic file format (TIFF, EPS/Postscript, JPEG, Acrobat/PDF) can also help avoid problems opening your files.
PREFLIGHT YOUR FILES
Please be sure to check your file in advance for errors and include all linked files and or fonts used in your document. A good way to do this is to open the file on a different computer to make sure all necessary information was copied to the disk. Missing fonts and files can reduce image quality, cause portions of the document not to print, or cause font substitution errors. If we encounter errors, we will not print the file until you resolve the problems.
The more prepared your files are, the faster we can print them!
