Printing Guidelines: DocuColor 2060

The Xerox DocuColor 2060 is the automatic choice for affordable, outstanding colour reproductions.

The following guidelines will ensure faster turnaround and better output from your digital files. If you need further support, please call 604.683.6991 and ask for Technical Support or click here.

What we can print from:
QuarkXpress, Adobe Pagemaker, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Acrobat, CorelDraw, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Powerpoint, Microsoft Excel and more (call our technical support staff if you are unsure of your application). We can print from your digital document as long as your application can output a PostScript file or a print quality PDF file. We can also scan from hardcopies.

Graphics:
All raster images must be scanned at a minimum resolution of 170 ppi at reproduction size. For example, if you have a graphic placed into your application at 150%, the graphic must be at least 255 ppi (170 ppi multiplied by 150%). Recommended image resolution is 200 ppi at reproduction size. Vector images can be scaled without losing any image quality.

How to set up your file:
You need to set up your files to maximize printing on a sheet. Depending on the page size, stock and quantity, you need to set up your files differently. The best thing to do is to check with us before starting on the project so that we may provide advice and guidance and save you a lot of headaches and money if the file was not set up properly. We will gladly impose the files for you. File handling fees may apply.

Stock and imaging specifications:
We are able to print up to 12" x 18" with full bleeds. Maximum imageable area is 12.4" x 18.9" and maximum sheet size is 12.6" x 19.2" (note that this is not applicable to all stocks and stock handling fees may apply). Maximum stock weight is 280gsm (approximately 12pt cover). Regardless of sheet size, all sheets will have a 0.25" border without printing.

What to send us:
If you are sending us a native file, please send all fonts and supporting graphics as well. If you are sending us a postscript file or print-quality PDF file, you need not send anything else. Please send along a printout if available.

How to send your file:
The fastest and preferred method of getting the file to us is to upload the file to our website. You can register for an account here. You can also email your file as an attachment to the Sales Department, however there is a file size limit of 8 MB on our mail server.

Remember to compress your files. You can download some free compression utilities here. Samco also supports a wide variety of data carriers such as 3.5" floppy diskettes, ZIP100 disks, ZIP250 disks, JAZ1GB disks, JAZ2GB disks and CD-ROMs.
