File Submission Guidelines...
At Island Printing Centers, we can output your files from PC or Mac platforms.
Please adhere to the following guidelines for submitting your digital files.
Offset Printing...
- Make sure all FONTS and supporting GRAPHICS are loaded.
- Whenever possible, please include a hard copy output.
- Please allow 1/4" margins on items (1/8" for business cards). If artwork
bleeds, make sure bleeds are at least 1/8" -- text and graphics still need to follow the
margin guidelines.
- If printing multiple SPOT colors, please pick specific PMS colors
when creating your file. NEVER use RGB colors!
- Scanned images should be at least 300 dpi for photos, and 800 dpi for lineart
and text. If printing 4-color process, please make sure images are saved as CMYK .tif or
.eps files.
B/W & Color Laser Output...
- Make sure all FONTS and supporting GRAPHICS are loaded.
- Whenever possible, please include a hard copy output.
- Please allow at least 1/4" margins (preferrably 3/8"). Our copiers can not
run paper sizes larger than 11 x 17 -- only sizes smaller than 11 x 17 may bleed.
- Try to stay away from .jpeg images. Make sure scanend images are at
least 300 dpi for photos and 800 dpi for lineart.
- RGB, SPOT, and CMYK colors are acceptable for color output, HOWEVER,
because our machines automatically convert colors to CMYK, color matching cannot be
guaranteed for spot and RGB colors.
