With the multitude of design software available today, many people create their own newsletters and brochures before they take them to a printer. Unfortunately, because of this software variety, many disks brought to Printing Services contain files that our composition department cannot easily access. To minimize these problems, we suggest you consult with us BEFORE you begin any work. If your file is a Macintosh file, there will be few problems.
