Just like with anything else we do, there are best practices for how we do it. File preparation is no exception, and in fact is the single most important factor in achieving perfect production.
We’ve identified five areas of file preparation that really rock our world, and will rock yours too. These areas are:
1. Collect keystrokes, proofread less.
2. Always provide crop marks and bleeds. Always.
3. What’s vector art and what does dpi really mean?
4. Can I start in Office and end up on press?
5. Fonts and Layers and File Sizes, oh my!
Stay tuned as we tackle these qualities over the next five weeks in our blog.
