BASIC REQUIREMENTS ------------------ Electronic Print Media Service images require application(s) that are compatible with TIFF and/or EPS file formats. The TIFF images are saved as TIFF (version 5.0) files in Adobe Photoshop. EPS images are saved as Adobe Illustrator 1.1 files. Any other hardware requirements will be based primarily on the applications you use and the type of final output you plan to produce. For best results, your printer should be PostScript compatible. ART SELECTION ------------- ** Tearsheet Magazine ** Tearsheet contains a printed pictorial index, which provides thumbnail and file name for each image in the issue. USING THE CLIP ART ------------------ ** PAGE LAYOUT PROGRAMS ** Open your page layout program, create a new document and place the TIFF and EPS files as you would any other pictures. The following page layout programs are compatible with both TIFF & EPS file formats: *PageMaker *QuarkXpress *Corel Publisher ** DRAW PROGRAMS ** Open your draw program, then Open or Import the EPS file.
