			Typesetting fonts come in two different file formats - Screen and Postscript fonts. When preparing computer files with fonts for printing the fonts must include the screen and postscript fonts that are used in creating the file. Otherwise the file will either have another font substituting it or will print with jaggered edges rather than smooth and sharp lines.

			All logos and text should be vectorized (line and curve type) EPS files supplied by the client. This will ensure that jaggered edges will not result when the object is blown up in the final print.

			Post Script - These are prefered option and are made up of screen font and printer fonts. Both parts need to be supplied.

			True Type - This is a single part font mainly used in the PC environments

			Bit Map - A type of font used in the early days of personal computing and not suitable for large format printing.

			Open Type - These are new development in cross platform compatible fonts and are not widely distributed at the moment.

	Bleed		When setting up your file consider the finishing aspect of the job. If the final print is to be mounted onto any substrate you must allow background bleed.

			As a general guide, allow 5mm bleed on all prints up to 594x841mm (A1) Any print larger than A1 should have at least 10mm of bleed added.

			If you are producing imagery for backlit or lightbox applications please communicate with the manufacturers of the lightbox to confirm your visual and trims dimensions.
