Setting
up files for output
Formats: Mac or Windows
Media:
CD's DVD's or USB thumb drives
We are happy to arrange Dropbox file transfers.
Colorspace: Adobe 1998 works great for initial soft proofing and should be embedded in the files.
Resolution: 360, 300, 180 or 150ppi @ 100% of final output dimension is best.
Using profile to profile conversions to get from a special user colorspace to Adobe 1998 will provide very good results. Remember to change your settings in RGB setup to reflect the correct colorspace. This will allow you to more accurately review the file for adjustments before proofing (this is a good starting point for client tests for output.) In Photoshop you can preview and also embed the profile when saving.
*Please provide flattened files and any hard copy materials in advance if a match is desired.
*Let us know about any critical deadlines.
*Always back up your files!
