PPS can image your files to photographic paper, translucent film, negatives, transparencies or wide format inkjet media. To meet expectations regarding quality and service time, the best results are achieved by following these easy steps:

1. Use only software listed below in our "PPS Supported Applications" table.
2. Remember to properly setup your page before you start producing your job!
3. Give us clear and concise directions about what you want and when you need it.
4. Send us only those files you want imaged. Extra files create confusion and will likely delay your order.
5. Provide us your "native" files, i.e. - those files which are normally produced from the software you use.
6. Include all of the fonts you used - even if they are standard fonts. We have many fonts on file but if by some chance we do not have yours, your order will be delayed. Additionally, if you used standard fonts but renamed them, your files won't image properly. Or, if you used standard fonts but adjusted their tracking or kerning, your files will not image correctly.
7. Send us any files that are embedded in your main files. When using imported graphics in files, it is best to create them in a "PPS Supported Application". Do not edit imported graphics in the final application. Size, adjust color, and rotate prior to importing. TIFF and EPS files are usually the best format to import. Do not embed large graphics unless necessary, link them instead. Scale to final output size in order to save space and imaging time.
8. For Photographic Output, use sRGB color space. For Wide Format Ink Jet Output, the CMYK color space can be used. Keep in mind that all output devices differ in their ability to reproduce colors. While we calibrate and profile our systems to create consistent, accurate colors, your results may vary if your system is not color managed properly.
9. At PPS color management is a top priority. We are ICC savvy and will provide, on request, color profiles of our output devices. If you haven't implemented a color managed workflow (and you should) it is a good idea to run a color test prior to settling on final colors. If you include a color sample, we can assist you in matching your desired output as closely as possible. Additional charges may apply for image correction and color management after the job is in-house.
10. Print and send laser or ink-jet prints when possible with your order so that we can proof our work - it's our way of checking your order for non-reported postscript errors or font substitutions.
