PSI has a Macintosh based pre-press/graphics department. Electronic files can be provided on a CD-Rom or via e-mail or FTP transfer.

Electronic files for digital & offset print components or DVD/CD silkscreen/offset should be provided in the following:

• Illustrator (.ai, eps) type must be converted to outlines
• Photoshop (.psd, eps, .tif) include font files if other than standard system fonts
• Quark (qxd) (Quark and report files plus collected output folders: fonts, pictures, profiles)
• Combination of these files (include the file extensions at the end of your file name). You may supply a PDF file only if it is print ready.

To ensure accurate output, please use PSI templates. If you do not see the template you need, please contact your account executive.

• If your artwork is printing 4/C process, provide your files in the CMYK format (not RGB)
• If your artwork is printing in spot colors, use the Pantone Matching System and provide the PMS name and number for each
• All images should be 300 dpi and include all screen and printer fonts (or create outlines where applicable)
• Include a B&W or color printed J-PEG or PDF of each component

For Silkscreen Offset Printing (use the directions above plus the following):

• For any 4/C process artwork, an additional white background is recommended. Note flood white on your file.
• Do not include any halftones less than 15% (light colors will not reproduce well on a disc) Also, halftones at 90% will reproduce at 100%
