Preparing Files

You’ve been working hard. You’re glad you can finally say, “It’s ready to go to press!” Rest assured, we’re happy to hear you say that, too. At Edward Hine Company, our job is to help you bring your ideas to life in print.

We prefer to partner with you early in the design process—helping ensure expectations, budgets and schedules are met. From papers and proofs to color and folding options, we troubleshoot any potential conflicts before you produce your final files. When your project is ready, our downloadable Pre-flight Checklist will help you prepare your files and eliminate pre-press surprises.

Pre-flight
While all files are pre-flighted within four hours of receipt, we strongly encourage all customers to use the pre-flight functions of their design programs when preparing the files for submission. Pre-flighting can prevent many of the pre-press related difficulties that could delay production of the job. There are also third-party options available such as Markzware’s Flightcheck.

Collect for Output/Package Functions
Utilizing the Collect for Output or Package functions will gather all the necessary fonts and graphic links while saving them in the folder going to Edward Hine Company. For complete information on preparing and submitting your files and tips on preventing the most common pre-press problems, consult with your sales representative and our prepress specialists.
