Our Environmental
Practices


 


 



If you are providing print resolution bitmaps rather than having us scan them for you, for best results, please use these guidelines:

  • Scan the image at the appropriate dimension for your document. An 8 x 10 original image being used in a 4 x 6 space need not be scanned at 100%
  • Do not enlarge the scanned image beyond 120% when placing it in your document.
  • Try to follow the 2 to 1 rule. The resolution should be two times the line screen. For example, 150lpi x 2 = 300dpi.
  • Bitmaps for process color separation need to be CMYK EPS or CMYK TIFF files.
  • Do not use compression methods (i.e. LZW or JPEG) on placed images for output.
  • Avoid using RGB images whenever possible.
