Peninsula Digital, Inc accepts native application files from most Mac and Windows based professional design and layout applications including QuarkXPress, Illustrator, Photoshop and PageMaker. We also accept PDF, EPS, TIFF and PS files. Please consult with our imaging specialists for the recommended file format for your project.

Peninsula Digital, Inc maintains a large library of type faces and supports the most commonly used PostScript fonts. For fastest turn around, please supply all fonts (both printer and screen). Mixing True Type and PostScript fonts in the same document is not recommended nor is creating the file in one platform (Windows) and modifying in another (Mac). If required, our staff can perform font substitutions to make your document print-ready. Such modifications might incur additional charges.

For scanned images or digital photos, save your files in CMYK TIFF or EPS format (non-compressed) with a sampling of 100-200ppi for small format prints at their final print size. GIF and PICT formats are not recommended as results are very unpredictable and commonly yield poor quality reproductions.
