How to avoid interrupted print jobs.

All too often, print jobs are interrupted or delayed due to improperly prepared files. To avoid these (and other) problems, use this File-Prep Checklist for quality control with QuarkXPress from Lauri Baram of Panarama Design.

  • Check that all raster images are either EPS or TIFF files.
  • Convert all RGB images to CMYK.
  • Check that image resolution is 300 dpi.
  • Check that all placed raster images are 100% size.
  • Check that no vector files contain fonts.
  • Verify positioning of images in picture boxes.
  • Verify status of all imported pictures in Picture Usage dialog box.
  • Don’t rotate or skew raster images in QuarkXPress.
  • Label FPO images in the file and on the hard copy.
