Check List

This check list should be used to assist you with pre-press production.

If you are uncertain about anything regarding your job please don't hesitate to talk to us at the earliest opportunity.

Ensure that a print order is supplied with the files, clearly identifying the estimate number, quantity required, delivery address and any special requirements. If the order varies from the estimate please contact us for a new estimate before sending the order.

Please inform us if your job is required for a strict deadline then.

Clearly discuss and agree schedules regarding file supply, proofing and approval, production and delivery.

Supply the most up-to-date hard copy along with the job if supplying native files, e.g. InDesign & Quark; also supply all the components needed to run the job - screen and printer fonts and all high resolution images.

If you wish to supply files in other progammes please read our information on file formats.

All images used must be at 300dpi for best results. Please ensure that they have been clearly labelled as to where they appear within the job.

Do not enlarge images more than 120% within the design software.

Run the proofs / hard copy from the file(s) that you are sending to Gomer with the file name present as to easily identify it.

Be sure to embed fonts into EPS files.

Should you require an FTP account please contact us.

When using our FTP site, name files clearly so they can be recognised. Ideally this should include the job name / number.

Check that colours are split correctly, especially on spot colour work. For example - Pantone 200 CV and Pantone 200 would image on separate plates and not as the same colour. In addition please ensure that any spot colours are named consistently throughout your document.
