Native Files & Grippers

As our Ruth our Printer discussed with us today: most printers do NOT want just a pdf's. They prefer-along with the pdf- to get the native file the graphics, photos, images, and fonts files you have used in your design job.

Also, remember your gripper! Each printing press NEEDS a bit of space, at the edge of the paper, so the press can 'grip' the paper and pull it through the press. This area is unprintable and the margins maybe slightly different on different presses. 1/2" is common. Be sure to discuss these details with your printer BEFORE you begin your designs. It will save you time in the long run.
