NATIVE FILE FORMATS:
Check that you include all the FONTS you used in the job, including any used in EPS files.
Check you include all the FILES in the job, including linked EPS and TIFF files.
In Quark XPress don't place TIFF's in a frame with the background set to none, you'll get jagged edges. If you want it deep etched, do it in Photoshop and save it as an EPS. Alternatively if there is no colour behind the image, simply fill the graphics box with white.
If your job contains Duotones, Tritones, or Quadtones make sure you change the screen angles for the colours in the application you're outputting it from or let us know there are Duotones in the job.
Where possible, please email artwork to print@absolutecolour.com.au.
