Digitally prepared files streamline the production process by bypassing scanning,
layout, and approval steps. Meeting our requirements for file submission will speed up
turnaround times. Incorrect submissions will delay your order or may result in added costs.
All files must be 100% complete and meet these requirements.
Please review these requirements, even if you are knowledgeable in the preparation
of digital files for other service bureaus. Write your work order number on any materials mailed, e-mailed,
or FTP'd to us, and label all disks with your name, company name, address, and phone number.
