* TIFF or JPEG files should only be used when supplying single colour or four colour process they need to be saved at 300dpi.
* Bitmap and lineart should be saved at 600dpi. Lower resolutions will produce low quality print reproduction.

* Files not intended for single colour or four colour process output, should be supplied with all colours set as SPOT colours and where appropriate a PANTONE® colour reference. Try to specify PANTONE® Uncoated (CVU) rather than Coated (CVC) to avoid possible problems with certain applications dropping the 'C' off the colour reference.
