A computer-ready file is an electronic file that you the customer supplies to Printing Creations. Your computer-ready file needs to have been created in a computer application that can be sent to the appropriate printing output device. Certain office applications such as the Microsoft Suite of products are wonderful for going direct to copiers and large format ink jet printers, but are very clumsy and do not work at all when they are sent to output devices that need to be separated into the four colors (CMYK) for full color printing. To play it safe, create in InDesign, Quark, Illustrator or Photoshop for your full color printed projects.
