E. HELPFUL PRESSPRINT HINTS

Importing Files

„PressPrint accepts a wide variety of file types. These file types are listed and can be selected through PressPrint's Import window. When importing files created through other programs, be sure the file you are importing is one of the file types listed in the import window. Like all other graphics programs, PressPrint will not be able to import an unsupported file type.

„If you have problems importing a certain file type, simply resave or export your file as one of PressPrint's other supported file types. In most cases, importing a file which has been converted to a TIFF or JPEG will essentially guarantee that PressPrint will accept it. Most graphics applications allow you to save or export images in a variety of industry-standard file types. (If importing TIFF files, note that only RGB TIFF images are supported. CMYK TIFF files will not import properly.)

„When preparing a file to be imported, be sure to prepare and import a single image only. In other words, use PressPrint to duplicate and mass produce the image after it has been imported.

Importing Macintosh Files

In many cases, files which have been created on a Macintosh will need to be imported into PressPrint. This is done in the exact same fashion as importing a Windows file and all the tips given in the previous "Importing Files" hint still apply. In addition, however, Mac users should be aware of a few additional tips.

„Since you will not always have all of the fonts supported by a Macintosh on your PC, you should always convert Macintosh text to curves before exporting. This will turn fonts into graphics, thereby eliminating the need to support that font on the computer running PressPrint.

„When exporting the image from your Macintosh program, be sure to export as one of PressPrint's supported file types. If you have trouble importing any of the standard Macintosh file types such as an EPS, try exporting the image in a bitmap format such as TIFF or JPEG. These file types are standard to both Mac and Windows.

„Be sure to name your file with the appropriate file extension to indicate the type of file you are saving it as. For example, if exporting your image as an EPS file it should named "Filename.eps". For a TIFF file, name it "Filename.tif". Or, for a JPEG file, call it "Filename.jpg".
