Here are some things to remember when submitting your print files to us...

• To send your files, simply send us an email with your text and graphics files included as attachments. For MS Outlook or Outlook Express, choose File under the Insert menu, then browse for your document, graphics, and font files.
• Make sure that all fonts and graphics files (images) are included. To avoid jagged or substituted fonts, be sure to include all of the styles of the fonts you used, such as bold and italics.
• Call ahead to see that we have the same software you used to create your document. Your best bet may be to convert any files you want printed to PDF format. Most recent versions of DTP (data transfer) software and even Microsoft Word have an option to create a PDF file of a document.
• If you are scanning photos, adjust the image resolution to match the output machine. A good rule to thumb is to scan at one-fourth the final printer resolution; for example, for most 600 dpi printers, set your scanner at 150 pixels per inch.
• Don't place bitmap scans of photos in a layout and then enlarge them. All that will do is create a chunky- looking printout with splotchy color. Instead, use Adobe Photoshop or the software that came with your scanner to scale up the photo to the finished size you desire; then save this larger version onto a disk to place into your document before output.
• For any other additional help you might need, feel free to call us at 707-775-4300 or e-mail us at qpsc@earthlink.net. We're here to help you get the document results you need when you need them!
