Preparing Desktop Files For Print

  • We ask that you follow these simple guidelines in order that we may avoid any problems and extra costs in outputting your files correctly. We would like to thank you in advance for following these procedures.
  • Make sure all elements of the job are included (tables, graphics, photos, fonts, etc.)
  • Please use PostScript fonts only. Do not use TrueType fonts.
  • Do not use the attributes to style your fonts, For example, use "Times Bold", do not 'Bold' Times.
  • Your job requires a 5/16" (0.3125 cm) margin on at least one side to allow the printing press to grip the paper. (Please contact David Printing to discuss this requirement)
  • If you are using spot colours, make sure all graphics and photographs use the same colour as the main layout (We prefer Pantone¨ colours)
  • Please indicate all colours used in your job, and remove any colours from your pallet that are not used.
  • Let us know if your job has been trapped properly, or if you would like us to provide this service.

  • Allow word wrap. Do not use hard returns at the end of each line.
  • Use the Tab Key to indicate tabs or indents. Do not use the Space Bar .
  • Do not use a discretionary hyphen to manually break up words at the end of the lines.
