Cost-Saving Tips

Try to have your content finalized when you place your order. Extensive revisions after the initial proof will increase your cost. If you have a particular layout in mind, please bring a sketch for us to follow.

Technical Tips

Almost always, "jpeg" and "gif" images grabbed from the Web are low resolution and therefore unacceptable for printing. For best results, all images should be submitted at a minimum resolution of 150dpi. Ideally, images that need to be printed should be output at a resolution of 300dpi (although there are exceptions). Images that will be presented for digital output (Web, onscreen) are the exceptions. Usually, a resolution of 72dpi will work well for these purposes.

We prefer to create and edit print files with InDesign. If you have a request for editing a Quark or PageMaker file, please call ahead. Our other primary graphic design software programs include Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.
