PREPARING TO PRINT

The following guidelines will aid you in preparing your files for printing at DeHART's.

  • Talk to your DeHART's sales representative before you send us your files. Good planning and preparation will insure an easier and less time consuming experience.

  • When selecting fonts to use in your document, make sure you have the PostScript fonts that correspond with the screen fonts you have selected. Screen fonts cannot be embedded into a PostScript file.

  • If your document is to be run in a signature format, set your pages up individually. In other words, give each page in your book a single page in your application. DeHART's will automatically paginate the book for a signature run.

       - Be sure there is enough room in the margins for binding and any trim cuts that may need to be done.

  • Crop marks may be used if you do not have any images that will bleed off the pages.

       - Insert blank pages wherever you want them to appear.

       - Remember to print a proof of your document and make any necessary corrections before submitting your files to us.

    If you have any questions don't hesitate to call us (408) 982-9118.
