It best to save your images as TIFFS rather than JPEGS. If if using Photoshop save as Tiff WITHOUT Layers.

Quark Xpress and Illustrator
Scan in or create you document at the size it needs to be printed at with a resolution of 200 ppi.

Publisher and Word
If your document only contains text and clip art - create it on an A4 page size and we can scale it.

If you are using some of your own images scan in as follows:
Scan in 4” x 6” prints at 300 dpi and enlarge to 200%
Scan in 5” x 7” prints at 300 dpi and enlarge to 150%

Most modern digital cameras will have enough quality to be enlarged.

Create a folder copy all the images you intend to use into it. Then save your publisher document here too. Copy this folder to disk.

Photographs
Please bring along your original photographs as these may need to be rescanned. Remember all photographs need to be of good quality as a poor exposure or focused image will only get worse in the enlargement process.
