    GUIDE FOR SENDING ELECTRONIC FILES

    You can send electronic files to American Bank Notes Pre-Press department by e-mail or on any of themore popular storage media, including: 3 1/2 Diskettes, Zip Disks, CD Roms, and Jaz Disks. For bestresults, send a hard copy of graphics or text as a back-up. Our email address is:[email protected]

    WHAT TO SEND

    LogosMost logos will print with best results if you send them to usin a vector format.

    What is Vector?

    Vector images are made up of shapes and line segments,Vector-based files consist of mathematical formulas describing each shape or line segment, along withdata about colors. Vector-based images can be scaled larger or smaller without a loss in image qual-ity. This is usually the best possible format for most logos. It is the only option for printing with multiplespot colors (PMS colors). NOTE: for the benefits of vector-based format, the file must be all outline,that is, not simply a bitmap image placed or embedded in vector-based file Bitmap images embed-ded in a vector file wil l NOT be printable in PMS colors, and the image quality may suffer from

    low-resolution output. Also, convert any text in your logo into outlines to avoid any problems frommissing or mismatched fonts.

    Certain bitmap formats are suitable for logos that will print in4-color process or black and white.

    What is Bitmap ?

    Also referred to as raster or pixel images, bitmap, imagesconsist of individual dots. Bitmap files define the location ofeach dot used to form an image, along with (sometime) infor-mation about the color for each dot. The more dots per inch(dpi), the higher the resolution of the image and the greater the image quality. Unlike vector-based

    files, bitmap files cannot be scaled much without a loss in image quality. If the resolution is not greatenough, the individual dots used to make up the image can become visible, resulting in an image withjagged or fuzzy edges on the final printed piece.

    A Note about Pantone (a.k.a. PMS ) Colors: For a logo to print using Pantone colors, it must be inan all-vector format, such as Adobe Illustrator. Bitmap images embedded in a vector file will NOTbe printable in PMS colors, and the image quality may suffer from low-resolution output.

    Preferred vector-based formats for logos: Adobe Illustrator (.ai)Adobe Illustrator EPS (.eps)Other acceptable vector formats:Macromedia FreeHand 8 (.fh8)Corel Draw (.cdr)

    Acceptable bitmap formats for logos thatwill print in 4-color process or black andwhite:Adobe Photoshop (.psd)Tagged Image File Format (.tif)Minimum resolution:4-color process 300 dpi or betterblack and white: 1200 dpi or better

    Signatures

    Signatures sent to us in electronic form should be scannedin at 1200 dpi resolution or better at the siz to be printed

    TextSending text in electronic form can greatly improve the turn-around time of your print job, especially when there is alarge amount of text. Most common formats for text or wordprocessing files will work.

    WHAT INFORMATION TO INCLUDE WITH YOUR FILE

    When sending us your file(s), please include asmuch information as possible so that we canroute your files properly and use them effectively.Please include your company name, your ABNsalespersons name, and some information aboutthe file itself.

    WHAT NOT TO SEND

    Do not send graphics embedded in PowerPoint or Word document

    Images placed into PowerPoint or Word files cannot be used for printing because they are low resolutionimages and cannot be easily extracted from these documents.

    Do not send GIF or JPEG filesGIF and JPEG files are not good for printing. These are bitmap/pixel image formats designed for inter-net and email use. They minimize file size at the expense of image resolution. GIFs and JPEGs maylook fine on a computer screen, but will usually look very jagged or fuzzy if used of professional printing.Furthermore, since GIFS and JPEGS are bitmap image formats, they would only print in 4-color processand cannot be printed in PMS colors.

    Preferred formats for text:Plain text (.txt)Rich Text Format (.rtf)Microsoft Word (.doc)

    Other acceptable formats for text:WordPerfect (.wpd)Within the body of an email

    (works fine for short texts)

    Information to include with your file:what file format it is,what software was used to create the file,what PMS colors, if any, are used in the file and

    any other information that you think we mightNeed in order to use the file(s) effectively.

    Ideal format for scanned signatures:1200 (or greater) dpi bitmap TIFF
