It is necessary to include the following information with every project sent to Mountain Commercial Graphics for output:
1. Electronic Copy: If submitting online, use the button below to go to YouSendIt, our file import utility. Acceptable vector file formats include Illustrator CS4, and InDesign CS4. If in doubt save as an EPS file and outline all the fonts. For non-vector requirements, Photoshop works best utilizing 100 to 300 DPI at full-size depending on viewing distance.
Please send the file in it's original format with all of the appropriate links and font (or outline all text).
PDF files work great for viewing but not always for production.
Files under 2 megs may be submitted via email to artfiles@mountain-cg.com or files can be submitted, CD's or DVD's labeled with return address. Please send the file in the original format in which it was created. Include a printout of the file directory specifying which files to output. If mailing, please send a back-up disk. Never send your only copy of a file (i.e., keep a copy of everything that you send Mountain in case something happens and the information has to be resent).
2. Hardcopy: A color print "go-by", to insure that the final product portrays the color(s) you desire. Please include PMS numbers and any sketches or color samples necessary to aid in the description of the project.
3. Quote: A copy of the quote supplied by Mountain Commercial Graphics (where applicable) and/or your purchase order.
4. Fonts: Fonts should be converted to curves (paths or outlines). Include fonts that are embedded within images. Unless all fonts are accurately provided.
5. Images: Be sure to include any images or artwork linked to the layout. Photoshop files should be saved as CMYK files. If you used small images while working, be sure to send us your highest resolution files for printing.
6. Identification: Label materials (i.e., name or number) that need to be scanned and include a diagram of their placement.
For additional information and/or questions related to the file submission for artwork, please email us at artfiles@mountain-cg.com or call your customer service representative.
