Fonts


Only postscript fonts will be accepted. All fonts must be embedded or supplied (both printer and screen). Do not artificially stylise fonts (eg: bold, italics) as simulation results in unsatisfactory output.

All files must be CMYK or greyscale. No embedded colour profiles are to be used. LAB or RGB colour modes cannot be used. Spot PMS colours can only be accepted upon prior arrangement.

(Note: No standard office printer will give such proofs.)

Transparency


Recommended to rasterise (remove) all transparency.

Proofs


Authenticity to original material cannot be expected without supply of a proof. Colour accuracy cannot be expected unless an accurate press quality proof is supplied. (Examples of guidelines used by some printers can be found supplied by 3DAP on www.3dap.com.au.) Only proofs labelled as such will be sent to the printer for colour matching. While Westwick-Farrow will print as accurately as possible to such proofs, no liability is accepted.
