::Creating A Postscript File
Converting your document to a postscript ("PS") file has some very definite advantages. By embedding your fonts and graphics into a single file it ensures that your job will print successfully every time. In addition, this removes limitations of projects created in programs that Aztec may not support. Quite simply, the PS file transforms your document into a universal format compatible with all of our printing devices.

To create a successful PS file you must use a postscript print driver. For a B/W document most postscript B/W printer drivers will work, unless your job requires printer specific features such as scaling, halftoning, etc. that are not available in the driver you are using, For best results you should use the exact driver for the printer being used. For color you MUST select a specific color postscript device for accurate color matching.

Print drivers are made available for free download by their respective vendors:www.hewlettpackard.com, www.usa.canon.com, www.xerox.com, www.fiery.com, www.encad.com. For a Windows computer you will need to install the printer on your computer before attempting to create the file. It must be installed as a LOCAL printer so that the installation will not fail because the device was not found. For a Macintosh you need only place the Printer Description (PPD) file into the system folder.

*If you require assistance downloading any of the print driver files from these sites, please contact an Aztec Store Manager.
