Software Specifics for Dye Sub
Adobe Illustrator/InDesign: Whenever possible, it is recommended you avoid the raster filters directly inside Illustrator and InDesign. Rather, you should create your raster effects in Photoshop and then place either a PSD or a JPG of the completed file into your layout as a linked image.
The Graphics Department does not recommend using embedded images (an image that has been placed into Illustrator but is not linked to the original file), as we have no way of knowing whether or not the original image is of high enough quality. Always save InDesign files in their native format.
NEVER scale raster images (i.e.: tif, bmp, jpg) inside Illustrator/ InDesign. Always pre-set the size in Photoshop first before placing it inside an Illustrator document. When saving Illustrator files, be sure to turn off the “PDF Compatibility” and the “Include Linked Files” features during the “Save As” procedure. This will minimize the file size substantially.
Color Matching: The dye sublimation process approximates a PMS color match. We will do our best to match PMS colors, however, we can only guarantee an “as close as possible” commercially accepted match.
