Send files in their native applications and include all linked graphics. Do not embed graphics in your documents, instead link them and send us the linked graphics.

If your document has bleeds, please extend your bleed elements at least 1/8" beyond the edge of the page.

Send current color-separated laser proofs for every page. Send composite color or black & white lasers, too.

Please provide multiple page documents in single pages or printer spreads, not reader spreads.

Multiple page document files should be built in Quark, PageMaker, or InDesiqn.

Please do not name any PC files more than eight characters long. 

If your job is printing in four-color process, make sure that the graphics imported from Photoshop or Illustrator are set as process builds, not spot colors. Otherwise, they might not print out to the CMYK plates.

If your job is printing with spot colors, make sure the graphics imported from Illustrator or Freehand are set to spot color.

 Be sure to note the exact names of colors. They must match with any custom colors that you create in your page layout program. For example, if you define a spot color as Pantone 104 CVU in Illustrator, it must be named Pantone 104 CVU in Quark. The names must match exactly.

Do not use fonts with "city" names such as New York, Chicago, etc. in your files as they will not image properly.

Include all fonts used in your document. Please exclude unused fonts - edit style sheets and delete unused style sheets which could contain unused fonts.

Be sure to include all fonts used in logos, graphics and other linked files.

Do not menu bold or menu italicize your fonts. Instead use the actual bold or italic font.

If you do not submit a complete fonts folder with screen and printer fonts, and it becomes necessary to substitute fonts, YTP cannot be responsible for resulting type wrap or other related problems.
