Supported file formats.
We accept most file formats - As always dealers can send their
files in the most common formats. While many printing companies limit the number
of file formats they will accept, BCE continues to accept the widest variety of
file formats in the industry!
Native File Formats - BCE continues to accept files in the following
formats:
Native Illustrator (.ai) - up to version CS4**
Native Photoshop (.psd) - up to version CS4
Native InDesign (.ind) - up to version CS4**
Native CorelDraw (.cdr) - up to version X4**
Native Quark Xpress (.qxd) - up to version 7
Common File Exchange Formats - BCE continues to accept files in
the following formats:
Encapsulated Postscript (aka EPS - .eps)**
Adobe Portable Document Format (aka PDF - .pdf)
Tagged Image Format (aka TIFF - .tif)*
Joint Photographic Experts Group (aka JPEG - .jpg)*
What works best - our recommendation - We prefer files saved in
PDF, EPS or TIF formats with fonts converted to outline, whenever possible. For
full color printing, files MUST be defined and saved as CMYK. Files in or with RGB
elements will be rejected. Files from paint programs such as Photoshop should have
appropriate resolutions - normally 300 dpi for full color and 1000 dpi for spot
color.
PROPER RESOLUTION FOR BEST POSSIBLE QUALITY!
* TIF and JPG files MUST be saved at a minimum resolution of 300
dpi for full color
printing and 1000 dpi for spot color printing. JPG files MUST be saved with a quality setting of MAXIMUM. BCE does not
recommend using or setting of text within TIF or JPG files.
** Please convert fonts to outline
