TRANSFERRING A JOB TO ACTA PRINT

Preparing the material package
If the layout material is transferred electronically to Acta Print, it should first be compressed into .hqx, .sit or .sea format. If you use any other compression software, please include the decompression program.

Transferring the material
The material can be sent to Acta Print on a CD or on a zip or jaz disk to the following address:

Acta Print

Proofs
The easiest way to send a proof to the client is email. A low-resolu-tion pdf file or a TIFF or JPEG image file moves quickly over the phone line to be checked. In this way the proof traffic takes place as quickly as the rest of the prepress process.

A proof can also be supplied as a hard copy. In this case, the printing method and the paper type are considered while producing the proof. Therefore a hard-copy proof gives a true indication of the final print. Cromaline never told the absolute truth of the final print, in spite of it's quality (or actually because of it).

As a matter of fact, a proof is not necessary, as the pdf file supplied by the client is an electronic proof as such.
