Making It Easy
Your Options
Image Offset offers several options for you to provide your own designs including...
- Camera Ready Copy
- Negatives or Bromide
- Electronic File
or we can design for you.
Camera Ready Copy (CRC)...

Negatives or Bromide...
May be supplied at resolutions of 2400dpi (negs) or 1200dpi (bromide) with a screen ruling of 133 -150 lines per inch (negs) or 100 - 141 lines per inch (bromide).
When supplying electronic artwork...
We prefer files supplied in:
- Freehand 7.0
- Pagemaker 6.0 (and 6.5)
- QuarkXpress 3.32 (and 4.0)
- Illustrator 9.0
- PhotoShop 7.0
If your artwork is in Microsoft Publisher, Microsoft Word, Corel Draw, Word Perfect, Microsoft Power Point, Microsoft Excel, Adobe Indesign, Adobe PDF our staff would be pleased to advise you of available options.
We accept...
Electronic Files supplied on CD, ZIP Disc, 3½ inch floppy or small files (<1Mb) emailed to imageoffset@bigpond.com
Also consider...
1) JPG (jpeg) images should be avoided because detail is lost in this format. If there is no alternative, save the image with the least compression possible.
2) Laser, Bubble and Inkjet printers cannot duplicate the printing process used by Image Offset therefore colour hardcopy proofs provided can only be used as a general guide.
3) Computer monitors produce images using Red, Green and Blue (RGB) dots, we print using Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black dots, therefore the colours you see on your monitor should only be used as a guide. (The brightness and contrast controls on your monitor can also affect how colours look on screen.) Do not rely on your computer monitor to determine how colours will look printed.
4) IBMs use Truetype Fonts (.ttf), while Macintosh use postscript fonts. Fonts can be converted, however sometimes they do not print properly, therefore Image Offset may need to substitute fonts. You will be notified prior to printing if this is the case.
5) Avoid embedding images into documents, they cannot be edited if required. Supply all pictures used in your document.
We are here to help...
Always talk with our staff before supplying artwork as often potential problems can be avoided, thus saving valuable time. Or ask our expert staff about doing your design for you.
