Digital Images & Photos
Convert all photos and images to:
Line Art (Black & White), Grayscale, or CMYK.
(No RGB, Indexed or Lab Colors )
Image Resolutions:
Line Art - 1200dpi
Grayscale/Halftones - 300 dpi minimum
CMYK - 300 dpi minimum
Save images as tiff or eps formats.
(Jpg, bmp, and gif files are low quality)
As a general rule:
Don't enlarge any photos more than 120%.
When using Spot Colors:
Make sure to use only one of the same color.
(example: pms 185c & pms 185u in the same
document is not right. The c and u will count as 2
colors not one, because it is 2 different formats).
