FORMATS, FUNCTIONS AND GUIDELINES |
|
|
|
|
|
We do ask customers to take into consideration
a number of important factors when preparing data for long-term
archiving. If requested we will of course process data for you.
For more details or questions, simply contact
us. |

File formats: |
|
|
|
|
|
RGB-TIF
JPG
PDF
Postscript |
|
|
|
|
|
We can create more accurate films
if you provide pixel files as RGB tif’s. Documents and
postscript files should have the necessary ECI-RGB details to
enable us to make full use of ICC Colour Management techniques.
If you need to minimise file sizes we recommend compressed JPGs
(level 10-12).
Vectorised files and data containing graphical and written elements
should ideally be converted into PDF format (standard: PDF/X-3).

Labels and referencing |
|
|
|
|
|
We also enter the job number and
specific title on each sp-page as well as the file name (under
or next to each sp-image). This makes it easier to identify
and refer to images. We have drafted the following guidelines
to make it easier to give images accurate and clear labels,
and we would kindly ask you to adhere to these guidelines when
you send the data. |

Directory breakdown |
|
|
|
|
|
| 1. |
|
| sp job number |
a 12 digit number, generated automatically. The sp job
number will be given to you when you confirm your order. |
|
|
|
| 2. |
|
| Sub-directory sp-product name |
The job directory contains sub-directories each with a
designation corresponding to the sp-product name. This
is to ensure each customer contract is carried out expediently
and allows you to file a variety of sp-products under
each job. |
|
|
|
| 3. |
|
| Sub-directory title sp-page |
The sp-product name directory contains sub-directories,
each with the specific title of each individual sp-page.
These directories then hold the files containing each
individual image. The alphanumerical order of the file
dictates the final positioning on the sp-page. It should
be noted that the maximum number of images should also
not exceed the sp-product selected. |
