PageMaker
instructions
- We accept files from
PageMaker up to version 7 from both Mac and PC. Create a PDF file, if possible,
using these Distiller settings.
- Set your page size to
the trim size of your finished product (i.e. business card's page size is
3.5" x 2").
- Include 1/8" bleed if
applicable.
- Include all fonts.
- If you are using a PC
version of PageMaker, be aware that your fonts may not work properly because
we must run them through converter software to work on the mac. Using a standard
font like "Times" will help eliminate any problems.
- Do not apply text attributes
such as bold, or italics with the help of PageMaker. If you need a word bolded,
use a font which is already bolded. ie. Times Bold
- If you are using a raster/bitmapped
graphic, the resolution must not exceed 350 dpi. Line-art should not exceed
1200 dpi. These resolutions are assuming the graphic has been sized correctly
to be placed at 100% in PageMaker with no reduction or enlargement needed.
- Be sure to convert all
colors and graphics to CMYK process.
- If you use a black background,
set the color for the black as follows: C=40%, M=40%, Y=20%, K=100%.
- When you import (place)
a graphic and the message asks you if you want to store the graphic in the
file, choose NO. This will link the graphic, keeping your PageMaker
file small.
- All graphics must be
in EPS format.
- When you have everything
set up correctly, do a "save as" and rename the file. This will make the file
as small as possible. PageMaker doesn't automatically reduce the file to it's
smallest size everytime you save it.
- Put all the linked graphics,
fonts and PageMaker file into a folder.
- Zip or Stuff the folder.
