Flexibility is the rule in this department. Our technicians are capable of making last minute changes to customer documents, scanning and placing high-resolution images into files, making high quality digital color proofs, generating major overhauls or new creations with our in-house design staff. Our pre-press staff is always ready to help customers with any application or file problem that arises.

Tips for Bringing Files to Print:

PDFs (Acrobat)

• We prefer a high resolution, print optimized PDF file. The file should include crop marks, offset .25” and centered. Your bleeds should be extended in your native files and set to .125" when exporting your PDF. Each file should be set up as individual pages or one-up.
• Please provide current final printouts for each page at 100%.

Native Files (ONLY PDFS)

• We no longer accept native files. Please only send high resolution PDFs. We can make minor edits to most PDF files so any major renovations must be provided by you or your graphic artist. If you want us to edit your file, there will be an additional charge.

Email of FTP

• For your convenience you can Email or FTP the files directly to our prepress department. When FTPing a file, we require you fill out our online form so we are immediately notified that the job has been uploaded.

Upon request, we can provide online pdf proofs be emailed to you. However, Online proofs do not represent the final printed color, folds or bleeds. Online PDF proofs are seen by the customer on a computer monitor using a color process called RGB. RGB color may look good on a computer screen,
but in certain instances very different color results may occur in the offset printing process. Full color printing by Beechler's Printing is done on offset printing presses using the four different color process inks (known as CMYK).

As a result, Beechler's Printing makes no warrantee that the color and image quality represented on a customer’s computer monitor, ink jet or laser color printout from a PDF online proof will approximate the finished piece printed via the CMYK process. If you would like, we will be happy to provide you a Print Proof and an Inposition Proof to show you the correct color, folds, bleeds, etc. (not provided with an on-line PDF proof) for your approval.

Direct to Plate

We are 'direct to plate' meaning we do not create film from your files, but rather we image directly onto the plates our presses are going to use to print your job. The results are
• higher quality
• quicker turn around times

File Storage

We will keep your files for up to one year in our archives. Due to the nature of digital media, you should always keep a copy of the original files to avoid possible problems with corruption while retrieving your data.
