IMPORTANT  NOTE ABOUT PROVIDING DESIGN INSTRUCTIONS: Keep in mind, to keep your instructions concise and clear. This will help the designer to use their design skills to create a nice piece for you instead of using your time to decipher difficult and incomplete instructions.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT PROVIDING TEXT FOR YOUR DESIGN: Unless you are ordering TYPESETTING OPTIONS, you will be required to supply all the text for your design already typeset into a Word or text file that we will format and use in your layout (hand written information and digital scans and images are not acceptable text formats). Keep in mind, to keep your instructions concise and clear. This will help the designer to use their design skills to create a nice piece for you instead of using your time to decipher difficult and incomplete instructions.

IMPORTANT NOTE WHEN ADDITIONAL DESIGN SERVICES ARE NEEDED: If additional design services or edits are needed, your Customer Service Rep will notify you of the additional time required to complete the request. You will be required to approve a formal request to add the service to your order before further proofs will be provided. Your order will be on “HOLD” status until the approval is received. Keep in mind, to keep your instructions concise and clear. This will help the designer to use their design skills to create a nice piece for you instead of using your time to decipher difficult and incomplete instructions.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT STOCK IMAGES:You may request a link to our background and/or image gallery. You would need to search for the image and then provide the image# with your instructions. A’Deas would then download the image and use it in your file for your final proof. If you would like A’Deas to find an image for you, an additional $30 charge will apply. You will be required to approve a formal request to add this service to your order. If you choose to have an image from the stock image gallery used in your design, or you choose from a stock background, we will print from the high resolution file to ensure quality. However, because the images are proprietary, we can only provide a low resolution art file with our watermark for your review and cannot provide a digital, high resolution, un-marked art file for you.

FILE TYPE SUGGESTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS:

Creating an Adobe PDF  - Not all PDF files are intended for hi-res printing, so if using this method, it is important to choose settings that guarantee a high resolution – “Press Quality”. Some programs (like Word) create PDF files not intended for high-end printing and will not give a desirable output when printed. For specific questions regarding this type of PDF, contact our design department at prepress@adeasprinting.com

When creating your Adobe PDF -  choose the "Press Quality" setting. This creates a hi-res PDF that is quite reliable.

APPLICATION FILES:
We can accept application files (if collected for remote printing and all support images and fonts are included.) To avoid any delays in processing your proof, we suggest you contact us before submitting these files so we can walk you through saving all the elements properly.
