Below is a video on how-to setup a file in Adobe Illustrator and save the file using Copy Craft’s PDF presets.

The how-to is based around setting up a business card for print, however you can apply the techniques taught in this tutorial to most any product you would design for print production.

The YouTube videos are broken up into two parts. We also have the video available in 1 part in a flash format – click here to watch the flash version.

Copy Craft will donate $10 from each business card order between Oct. 29-30, 2009.

Breast cancer knows no age, race or gender boundaries! In fact many of our employees here at Copy Craft have family members and friends which have been affected by breast cancer. The harsh reality is that at some point in your life you or someone you know will be effected by breast cancer. The good news is that there are foundations like Susan G. Komen for a Cure which are dedicated to finding a cure and eradicating this horrible disease.

To show our support for the work that Susan G. Komen for a Cure is doing, Copy Craft will hold a two day fundraiser called “Cards For The Cure”. Now even the smallest product can make the biggest impact – business cards.

On October 29-30, 2009, $10 of every business card order from Copy Craft Printers will be donated to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. For more information about the “Cards For The Cure” event please visit http://www.copycraft.com/komen

Join us along with Susan G. Komen in finding a cure and putting an end to breast cancer. We need your support to make this as big an event as possible, so please share this with as many people as you possibly can. You can use the “Share This” link at the bottom of this posting to share with others via email, text messages, and across all the social media networks.

If you were thinking about ordering new business cards or have people in your office needing business cards, now would be a great time to order them! Even if you don’t need business cards right now, it’s okay to order an extra set and support a good cause.

A really great way to send your finalized files to use for print production is as a PDF. As you probably know there are about 1,000 different options when saving a PDF. To make life easier and to ensure you are sending the PDF in the proper format we have built a profile with all the correct PDF settings. Click here to download the Copy Craft PDF presets.

Once you have installed the PDF presets you can begin saving your files as a print ready PDF with the Copy Craft setting from any of the Adobe products which support PDF saving/exporting.

Below is a video tutorial on how to install the PDF presets.

We have more videos coming soon dealing with proper file setup in Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign, so please check back.

Any comments are greatly appreciated. Please feel free to share this video!

We want to know what is most important to you!

While there are many factors which usually come into play when selecting a commercial printer, the big three always seem to be price, quality and service.

The obvious (and perfect) choice would be a printer who can provide all of the above. But, if you had to only use one of the above qualities when selecting a commercial printer what would it be?
