Supply your file as a PDF

You can create a PDF file from most programs now, and it’s easiest file for printers to use. When saving your PDF you can select to include crop marks and bleed, you can also ensure the resolution you want to save the file at. If you are designing a brochure, supply the PDF as separate pages, not spreads, this includes the front and back cover, and don’t try and impose your brochure, your printers will do that using their imposition software. You can also run a preflight check in Adobe Acrobat, and you can set it up to check for various things, such as image resolution, bleeds, spot colours etc. This is really helpful to check that you haven’t missed anything.
