F. HELPFUL PRESSPRINT HINTS
Importing Files
■
PressPrint accepts a wide variety of file types. These file types are listed and can
be selected through PressPrintÕs Import window. When importing files created
through other programs, be sure the file you are importing is one of the file
types listed in the import window. Like all other graphics programs, PressPrint
will not be able to import an unsupported file type.
If you have problems importing a certain file type, simply resave or export your
file as one of PressPrintÕs other supported file types. In most cases, importing a
file which has been converted to a TIFF or JPEG will essentially guarantee that
PressPrint will accept it. Most graphics applications allow you to save or export
images in a variety of industry-standard file types. (If importing TIFF files, note
that only RGB TIFF images are supported. CMYK TIFF files will not import
properly.)
If your program does not allow you to save or export an image in an acceptable
format, a separate file conversion software package called Transverter Proª is
available. This package allows you to easily convert files into a variety of
accepted PressPrint formats. See the documentation included with this
conversion software for complete instructions.
■
When preparing a file to be imported, be sure to prepare and import a single
image only. In other words, use PressPrint to duplicate and mass produce the
image after it has been imported.
Importing Macintosh Files
In many cases, files which have been created on a Macintosh will need to be
imported into PressPrint. This is done in the exact same fashion as importing a
Windows file and all the tips given in the previous ÒImporting FilesÓ hint still apply.
In addition, however, Mac users should be aware of a few additional tips.
■
Since you will not always have all of the fonts supported by a Macintosh on
your PC, you should always convert Macintosh text to curves before exporting.
This will turn fonts into graphics, thereby eliminating the need to support that
font on the computer running PressPrint.
■
When exporting the image from your Macintosh program, be sure to export as
one of PressPrintÕs supported file types. If you have trouble importing any of the
standard Macintosh file types such as an EPS, try exporting the image in a
bitmap format such as TIFF or JPEG. These file types are standard to both Mac
and Windows. If your Mac program does not allow you to save or export an
image in anything other than an EPS format, a separate file conversion software
package called Transverter Pro is available. This package allows you to easily
convert an EPS file into a standard bitmap format such as a TIFF or JPEG. See the
documentation included with this conversion software for complete instructions.
