Send your files on Zip or floppy disks, either Mac or PC, or on CD's. Our in-house system is PC. We usually take complex Mac files to Aspen Graphic Services, across the street from our shop, for film output. If you send very large files by e-mail but they may tie up the computers involved for a long time. Call first so we can free up a machine to accept your data.

Use Acrobat Reader to print a copy of our Digital File Information form and fax it to us at 970-925-5932.

What to Include

A ".pdf" or PostScript (".ps") file, properly color separated and with printers marks, is ideal. Unfortunately, the steps to make a correct PostScript file are still very complex in most software programs. There are large differences between program versions and vast differences between programs. For this reason, be sure to include a copy of your original file saved BEFORE you created the .ps file. Call for our current system status and software adaptability. Everything changes every day!

When sending "native" or non-PostScript files, please include copies of each image and all fonts you use. If images are compressed, please let us know. Some compressed images simply will not print and cause programs to "hang."

Remember to make copies of your fonts with your file and tell us the EXACT font names. Some of our programs and printers radically change the appearance of your type, so send your fonts to upload with your file. Be SURE to send a proof printout of your file so we can check our output for accuracy! when you submit them for production for comparison to our output.

Proofing

Proofing is an important part of your job and we will always furnish a proof for your approval. This step allows you to review your order before it goes into production to ensure that all elements are correct. Changes can be made at any time before printing starts. Charges for changes are at our standard hourly rate plus materials such as plates or film. Remember, a correct proof equals a correct printing job.

Acrobat

To expedite proofs we can send them directly to your computer to view on screen or print out on your computer. Download the free Adobe Acrobat Reader here. Mark changes on the printout, or sign it if it's okay, and fax it to us at 925-5932. With the latest version of Acrobat you can also sign your proof electronically and return it by e-mail.
