Preparing Materials:

• PDF is preferred file format.
• Allow minimum margins of 5/16″ at the top, bottom and side of each sheet.
  –If you want copy to bleed of the edges, it will need to be run on a larger sheet than your finished size and you will need to include the bleeds in your file
• When creating your PDF file, choose “print quality” or “press quality”
• Make sure to embed all fonts
• Do not compress any images or line art

Following these guidelines will ensure that all the fonts and graphics are embedded within the PDF file at the proper settings for copying/printing at the Copy Center or Printing Services.
