Pack and Go for Publisher

ALWAYS use “Pack and Go”
Publisher 2002 includes the easy-to-use Pack and Go Wizard that will help you collect all the graphics, fonts and files Insty-Prints needs to professionally produce your file. After you’ve saved your document, click the File menu, point to Pack and Go, and then click Take to a Commercial Printing Service. The steps below outline the general procedure. For more details, see “Pack Your Publication” or Publisher Online Help.

Choose a Drive
Whether you want to email your files, upload them to our FTP site, or burn them to a cd to deliver to Insty-Prints, you can save the Pack and Go files directly to a folder on your computer. Once the files have collected and saved in that folder, you can choose to do one of the following:

1. Email the entire contents of the folder to us at guru@insty1.com
2. Go to www.insty1.com, click on Online Ordering, then Upload Files to Our FTP Site and follow the instructions to upload the entire contents of the folder
3. Burn a cd with the entire contents of the folder and deliver to Insty-Prints

Include Fonts & Graphics
Always embed fonts and include linked graphics (See figure??) to save you and Insty-Prints hours of time and money.

Pack the Publication
After you have completed the previous steps, click Finish to copy and compress the files for Insty-Prints. The Pack and Go Wizard will create the following files:

1. unpack.exe - This is a small software program Insty-Prints will use to open and “decompress” your files. All we have to do is double-click the program icon and all the required files will be copied to a specified location on our computer.
2. readme.txt - This is a text file, explaining how to unpack your files.
3. packed01.puz (and possibly packed02.puz, packed03.puz, etc.) - There will always be at least one puz file. These contain compressed versions of your Publisher job, inserted graphics and TrueType fonts.

Print Laser Proofs
After your publication is successfully packed, you have the option to print a composite version and a color-separated version to your own printer. This is always a good idea! These printouts represent what you think the document should look like. Be sure to send the print-outs to Insty-Prints, along with your files, so that we will know what it should look like.Other Very Important Things to Remember:

• When printing in spot color, make sure all colors are marked to be “Spot” color and that there are not more than one version of a specific color. For example: PMS 485 Red - make sure you only use that one color for red (not 486 Red, and RGB version of Red, etc.).
• Use only high-resolution images. Small images enlarged or place holder images will print rough or “jagged” and there is nothing we can do to make it look better.
• Don’t apply special formatting to plain text; use a different font instead.
• Avoid copying and pasting graphics. Use original graphic files and import them into the document instead.
• Refer to Publisher Online Help or the Publisher Companion Guide for questions.
