Images
Tiff or EPS formats 300 dpi at the finished size work the best. Try not to scale
more than + or -15% from the original scan size to avoid quality problems.
Pictures copied off the Internet are usually only 72 dpi and not good enough
for printing,
they will most likely come out looking fuzzy. Small (2" x 3") color
pictures that are not at least about 3 mgs. in size are probably not high enough
quality.
Bleeding
Bleeding refers to ink being printed off the edge of your printed piece. Always
position your object so that at least 1/8" extends beyond the edge on the
final page size. This can be done on 1,2,3, or 4 sides of your printed page
Font Styles Menu
Are you using the fonts styles menu by clicking on the "B to make your fonts
bold " or the "I" to make your font italicized? This probably
will not print correctly. In QuarkXPress or Pagemaker, you may want to make a
font bold or italicized the easy way. Risky idea. If a font has been stylized
to bold or italic via a font style menu it may not result in a bold or italic
version when it is printed to a PostScript output device. When working correctly,
stylizing a font will work ok when printing to a PostScript device. The font
will look for the bold version and substitute it in for the stylized regular
version. With the multitude of fonts and font manufacturers this frequently does
not work correctly.
