Illustrator for the Macintosh: One Color


Visit Adobe's Home Page


Include all linked graphic files. If you send an Illustrator file that contains an EPS, TIFF, or any other placed images, you should send the image file along with the Illustrator file. The Illustrator file refers to the information in the graphic file to print the image properly at high resolution. Without the separate file, the graphic cannot be printed.

Please be aware of our preferred percentages when setting up screens or gradients. Our ideal screen percentages fall anywhere from 20% to 40%. For more information on screen percentages, please visit the corresponding section in Printing Parameters.

To avoid font inconsistencies, please Create Outlines on all text. This uses the information found in the text's printer font to recreate the individual letters. Once text has been converted to outlines, the information found in the screen and printer fonts becomes unnecessary. This allows the file to be font-independent and removes the need to include the fonts.

If you do not wish to Create Outlines on text, please include all printer and screen fonts used by the Illustrator file. We have access to the entire Adobe and Corel Font Libraries. Any font not found in these libraries must be sent with the Illustrator file in order to be printed. Visit our font section in General Information for more on printer and screen fonts.
