Software Program Compatibility—Copper and Magnesium Dies

To send your order electronically to OWOSSO you can use any of the following programs
to create your files:

• CDR– Corel Draw
• AI– Adobe Illustrator
• FH– Freehand
• PM– Pagemaker
• QXD– Quark
• IDD– In Design
• PSD– Photoshop
• EPS– Encapsulated Postscript
• PDF– Portable Document File
• JPG– Jpeg, only in 100% black and white, 600 DP
• TIF– Tiff bitmap, only in 100% black and white, 600 DPI

Microsoft Word and Excel files need to be saved as a PDF. We do not accept MS Word or Excel files.

Here are a few important software tips to remember:

• When using PageMaker or Quark Express you need to also send OWOSSO your
  fonts. No big deal! Just find that font folder on your hard drive, make a copy of that
  folder, and put it in the same folder that will hold the file you are sending us.
• With Corel Draw, Illustrator or Freehand you do not need to send fonts, however
  you need to change your type into “outlines or paths”.
• Don’t forget to always include your placed images unless they have been embedded
  in the file.
• When setting type, avoid using the control palette to create bold or italic fonts. It
  may print okay on your computer’s printer, but it will not translate on our postscript
  imagesetters. PDFs created in this manner will also default. Yikes!!
• Remember -- always avoid typesetting in Photoshop. It’s a great program but does
  not produce clean, crisp type.
