Delano will supply a joboptions 􀀞le that can be used with these applications for saving a high resolution PDF to our speci􀀞cations. Please provide 􀀞les in native format packaged with all links and fonts.  \nGeneral File Setup Rules  \nAn abbreviated list of standard pre-press rules that apply to all les submitted include:  \nFile Naming: Provide 􀀞les with clear naming so is easy to identify what part of the project that art goes to. If 2-sided, label fronts and backs properly or, if they are together in a multi-page document, please note which pages are which in a read me document or email to Account Manager. File name example:  \nBox Bottom.pdf  \nCard Deck 1 Common_Back.pdf  \nCard Deck 2 Read_Front.pdf Game Board.pdf  \nTokens.pdf  \nBox Top.pdf  \nCard Deck 1 Read_Front.pdf  \nCard Deck 2 Uncommon_Back.pdf Rules.pdf  \nTuckbox.pdf  \nApplication Use: Do use a page layout application designed for commercial print output for all multi-page documents, such as rules and cards. We strongly recommend Adobe InDesign. Do not use Microsoft Word or anyother word processing programs-typesetting charges will apply to text provided in a word processing format. Single page documents, such as a box top, bottom, or card box may be submitted in any Adobe program.  \nDo not set type in Photoshop. Photoshop is primarily used for continuous tone image work, not typesetting. Place your Photoshop 􀀞les into InDesign or Illustrator and set the type in that page layout program. Any text set in Photoshop will not print with crisp edges.  \nText in Photoshop (pixel edges)  \nText in InDesign/Illustrator (smooth edges)  \nImages: Do not use jpegs, gifs, or picts if at all possible. These are compressed image formats, not designed for print production. Do use 300+ dpi, CMYK colorspace for all continuous tone image work.  \nColors: Set all 􀀞les as CMYK plus any required spot colors. Do not use spot colors if job is for CMYK (4 color process) only. Do not use RGB. If converting from RGB to CMYK, double check the values once converted.
