About preparing customer files
Customer files are the source files that you use to produce the final
printed product.
General best practices
●
Composite files are preferred, but separated files such as those
created with QuarkXPress or Adobe PageMaker, are also
acceptable. However, the separations set in separated input files
cannot be modified in Prinergy. With composite input files, you can
decide at the last minute how you want to output colors. If you
require trapping and color matching, you must use composite input
files. You can mix composite and separated files in the same
Prinergy job.
●
We recommend that you always include or embed fonts in your
input files.
●
Customer files can be stored on any server or disk that Prinergy can
see. When you add files to a Prinergy job, you tell the system where
the customer files are stored.
