Digital Technology has revolutionized the printing industry in the last five years. It has become the standard method of communication between design houses, bureaus and printers. Many customers also choose to do their own design work on the computer and give it to their printer "ready to print."

Unfortunately, "ready to print" does not mean the same thing to everyone.

We have a policy at Beyer Printing, Inc. of "Pre-Flight Checking" each disk that comes into our shop to make sure it will generate art that we can use. A charge will be applied for this necessary procedure.

Your Pre-Flight Check Includes:

• Missing Fonts: all postscript and printer fonts must be included on disk
• Severe Type Problems: type must be formatted to print correctly
• Missing Links: all imported graphics must be included on disk
• Imported File Format: all imports must be in usable format
• Graphic Resolution: resolution must be set above 225 DPI
• Color Setup: all colors must be formatted to separate correctly (spot or CMYK)
• Compression: we accept these compressed file formats: Disk Doubler, Stuffit Files, Zip Files

Any adjustments needed to make your disk press-worthy will be charged at prevailing rates. This includes trapping, knockouts/overprints, layout/alignment, and type changes.

It is recommended that you ask your designer or bureau to check the above items and sign a checklist before giving us digitally formatted jobs. All art submissions need to complete the digital prepress checklist.
