5.4.2 Files
Besides the Quark layout, which has been used to
create the artwork/CD label, you have to include all
used fonts, scans, illustrations and logos. Additionally,
please add a brief text file stating the most important
information.
Put all files which are related to the same release in one
folder. The folder must have a filename starting with the
release/selection number or the name of your customer
service representative.
All files must be clearly defined by their names for
example:
Booklet cover
Booklet Innersection
Inlaycard
CD Label Spec A
So all components for one release are in one folder.
In this folder you will standard find the layout files, the
information text file plus two other folders:
1. Fonts:
2. Images:
The folder will contain all the FINAL used images
(scans, logo's, etc.)
IMPORTANT: Please make sure that all the images are
linked to the used Quark document with the same
names! This is necessary to avoid errors and extra time.
5.4.3 Fonts
Always include all fonts which you have used to create
the job, even if you have used a font in an EPS which
has been transferred to an outline.
Always send the screenfonts and the printerfonts, pre-
ferrably using only PostScript Type1 fonts and not
TrueType fonts.
Please do not make separate folders in this folder!
5.4.4 Images/Illustrations
Please make sure that you save your images
(Photoshop) as a TIFF or EPS files.
Illustrations and logos should be made as EPS files.
You must not use JPEG compression.
WARNING!
EPS files are great, but they also cause the most
problems when translating a piece of artwork to real
printwork.
Some simple guidelines prevent a lot of problems and
make production time much shorter and cheaper. Most
software with an EPS as output (like Illustrator or
Freehand) work with layers. The more layers you use,
the higher the chance of meeting problems, especially
when importing already made EPS files into another
EPS file. When creating logo-like illustrations where
fonts are used, always transform these fonts by crea-
ting an outline. This guarantees the exact positioning
and form of all elements.
Files to be saved:
• One file with only the visible layers and the fonts
transferred to outlines. Check if some layers are
invisible but still in the artwork.
• Do not save 5th (fifth) or more channels to an image,
rip's cannot handle these images.
• A second file with all layers and fonts still in it, this
file can be used for corrections.
• Always put one illustration in an EPS
• Always put one image in a scan
• Always scan in 300 dpi (12 l/mm) for high res CMYK.
Resolution is always related to the final dimensions
of the image
