How to save $ on print: Prepare your files (Tip #3)
A properly prepared art file flies through a prepress department. Make sure your art is created in a software program that your printing service supports. Check that there are no missing fonts or linked graphic and image files that could cause more prepress work, resulting in delay and increased costs.
The goal is a seamless transfer of files from you to your printing service. File correction adds time and costs to your print job.
At D Media, we create your art files properly upfront, ensuring that they are clean, ready, and set up correctly for print before submitting to prepress.
