Pegasus Auto Prints
- Pegasus prints can only be produced from RGB MAC files.
- Files must be supplied as uncompressed TIF and should not include
any extra layers, paths or channels.
- JPEG’s are also accepted, but changes in colour and quality
may occur.
- Files should be saves to the desired print size at 250 dpi.
- Multiple prints may be save in the same file ie four 10x8”s
on one 16x20” file. This will save you money when compared
to individual prices. (Please balance all individual images before
combining)
- Illustrator & Quark files can also be printed but need to
be converted to TIF files. To do this save the file as an EPS in
the created application, open the EPS file in Photoshop and save
the file as an RGB TIF at 250 dpi.
- You may send files on zip, CDrom and DVD. Please name your file
8 characters or less without any slashes or underscores.
