Prepress Specifics
- We take Macintosh and PC-based documents, including projects created in Word, Excel, Publisher, and PowerPoint.
- We review and preflight incoming files before proofing.
- Leave PMS colors set as spot colors in your files because they’ll print better than conversions to process tints.
- If you like to send print-ready PDFs, we’ll gladly email a NexPress Job Options file you can place in your Distiller Settings folder to generate NexPress-optimized PDFs.
- You don’t have to be a graphics professional to work with Fresh Color Press. We encourage you to call with any questions because we want to help you reduce the time and effort required to prepare projects to print.
Internet Job Submission
- Sending projects to us via the Internet is fast, simple, and eliminates courier charges.
- Files can be sent via email or placed on our FTP server.
- Archive documents and fonts using Stuffit or WinZip for safe Internet transport.
- Email projects directly to Brian, Jackie, or Lori.
- Attachments generally shouldn't be larger than 6 MB (though larger files often go through).
- For large files, our FTP address is ftp.freshcolorpress.com. Please call or send an email to support@freshcolorpress.com and we'll create a password-protected FTP account for you.
Proofing
- NexPress hard-copy proofs aren't off-line representations showing approximately what the printed project will look like. They actually are the first finished piece – on the paper you specify for the project – showing exactly how the printed project will look like. So no more guessing or press checks. You don't even need to return your proof, because we keep one here and can begin printing as soon as you give us the go-ahead.
- PDF "soft proofs" emailed to you are a great way to check copy changes, pagination, and positioning, especially when you're in a hurry.
