REMINDER: we do have a complete and experienced 
Art Department in-house with several graphic artists on-staff -- we can create the necessary files for you if you aren't sure how to, or don't want to, do this yourself.


lease contact us  if you have any questions!

InDesign files . . .

We are hardcore QuarkXpress users and don't know much about using InDesign -- we used it's predecessor PageMaker back in the day, and have done a few trial versions of InDesign over the years -- we only purchased a copy (years ago) because some of our clients used it and needed our help navigating file/formatting problems.  

As we don't use the program in our day-to-day design and layout work, the newest version we have is older, CS3 -- so if you wish to hire us to revamp a layout, we will need your work saved down to this lower version*... otherwise you can provide us with PDF files of your InDesign layouts if you have PRINT-READY files and just need us to run them off. 

*please be aware, we will need you to export all your added plug-ins (or else we won't be able to open your file), please make sure you do this when you 'Package' up the file for us.

HEADS UP:  One thing we have run into repeatedly with PDFs of InDesign files is that transparent layers do not render well thru the PDF to our printers. 

Example:  a white layer used to soften an image may go completely solid, blocking out the image behind it, or, the white layer may vanish completely -- making the background image 100% it's density...  the better way to create the same effect is simply to tint screen the background image itself (making the image 30% or something).
