ISBN Barcode Generation:
TPS now offers the capability of creating ISBN (International Standard Book Numbering) barcodes for your publications. Simply supply us with your ISBN number and we'll generate the artwork for the barcode. If you'd like more information about obtaining an ISBN number or apply for a new number, go to the Bowker Agencies web site at www.isbn.org

We now support InDesign:
After taking a "watch and wait" approach to Adobe's latest page layout application, we now feel that InDesign is finally ready for "prime-time". As of August 2004 we now support InDesign CS on the Mac platform.

Applications we no longer support:
The following applications have been dropped for our Supported Media list. We have removed them due to lack of customer use, or manufacturer support. If you have a project that has been created in any of these applications, please contact us for alternative options:

Corel Draw 8

MS Publisher

Note on Platform Description:
To clarify the term "Platform" in the Supported Media list above. Platform indicates the native version of a particular application we use. For example, the version of Quark Xpress that we support is run on Macintosh computers. While Quark documents are "cross-platform" which means that a document created on the PC version of Quark can be opened and edited within the Mac version and vice-versa, there can be an issue with support files, especially fonts. PC and Mac fonts are not cross-platform, regardless of type (i.e. Postscript, TrueType).

If you supply us with documents that were created in the PC version of the following applications, additional pre-press charges may incurred for font conversions and image/object re-linking. The alternative to this is to supply us with Postscript or PDF files:

Quark Xpress

PageMaker

FrameMaker

Graphic creation applications such as those listed below can use their "convert text to paths" utilities which will convert selected text into graphic objects. By doing this, you eliminate any font concerns:

Illustrator

Photoshop

Freehand

If you have any questions regarding this, please contact feel free to contact us. You may do so by email at info@tradeprintingsvc.com or by phone at (760) 496-0230 x:11

Jaguar Implemented:
The field tests of Mac OS 10.2 Jaguar have been completed and it has passed with flying colors! We will be in the process of upgrading all of our pre-press systems through-out the year. As always, Trade Printing Services is proud to be on the "cutting-edge" of technology. We also applaud Apple for creating such a robust and flexible operating system.

If your application is not on this list, please contact our IS department at info@tradeprintingsvc.com
List is current as of February 2004
