Tips on getting your job on time.
Give yourself enough time to plot before your
review Give yourself plenty of time for
plotting, chances are everyone else will wait
until the last minute to plot, do not make that
mistake yourself. Give yourself at a minimum 24
hours to plot before it is due. Flatten
Layers Flatten all of your layers before
printing. This will reduce the time it takes to
spool the image Keep Linked images at the same
Resolution Please save linked images at 72
DPI. Plot Images at 72 DPI only You are wasting
valuable time if you plot at higher resolutions!
If you are plotting, keep the resolution of all
of your images at 72 DPI. You will not notice any
difference between 72 DPI and 150 or 300 DPI on
the plotters. However your files will plot very
quickly if you leave it at 72 DPI.
27
Tips on getting your job on time.
Keep file sizes as small as possible The smaller
your file sizes are the faster it will print.
Sizes should remain under 100MB. If you are using
illustrator or InDesign with linked images, count
up the file sizes of all the linked images.
Flatten Layers Flatten all of your layers
before printing. This will reduce the time it
takes to spool the image Remember to add links
to the CD or DVD Fill in all the information
that pertains to you The more information we
have the better. Ask if you dont know.
28

Try to control your emotions, If youre worn out
and stressed that means you are giving it your
all! And we will do the same. Here in the Output
shop we are on the front line with you, So watch

printers allow us. Dont wait until the last
second, because everyone else will.
