Images

When submitting images for your publication, please save them as Macintosh TIFFs. This is the file type that offers the best reproduction and ease of use for print. EPS files are more complex and can be problematic, especially if there is text in the file. If you must use the EPS file type, be sure to include any and all fonts used if there is text. TSP can not guarantee correct reproduction of EPS files if fonts are not included. Unless you have saved a document from a page layout program as an EPS, there is no reason not to use a TIFF instead.

JPEGs, GIFFs, and any PC-type image formats such as BMPs are not acceptable for print work. Images downloaded from websites are usually 72 d.p.i, and therefore too low in resolution for print work. Please avoid using them, if at all possible. TSP can not guarantee the quality of downloaded images when printed.


Applications

When submitting a publication or ad to TSP, remember that we are an Apple Macintosh environment and therefore can accept only those files that are created on a Macintosh computer*. Further, we can accept documents created in these programs only:

    Adobe PageMaker
    QuarkXpress
    Multi-Ad Creator
    Adobe PhotoShop
    Adobe Illustrator
    Adobe Acrobat

Documents in Microsoft Word or Macromedia Freehand cannot be accepted. These are unsuitable for page layout.


*We can sometimes convert PageMaker and Quark files created on a PC, but the fonts won't translate. Please call or email us to discuss your specific needs.
