Barcode Image Files for use in Publishing 

   

The ‘DiskMaster’ system provides a Film Master quality image in an electronically configured form (.eps), that we supply by E-mail.  

Choose .eps for Macintosh or PC.   

In use the image file is imported into the rest of a product’s artwork and then the complete film is output to an image-setter.  

If you need more guidance on working with barcode images read this note.  

EAN, ISBN and ISSN Barcode images are created at 100% size (width 37.29 x height 25.93 mm) unless otherwise requested (minimum normal reduction is to 80%, Maximum normal increase is to 120%).
Other barcode symbologies need the size to be specified by the user.

IMPORTANT NOTE - The image file provided is a verified image and will need to be printed using a process of greater than 1200 dpi to remain verified.
When the image is printed or viewed at less than 1200 dpi the word ‘Laserproof’ will appear through the barcode image (e.g. a draft copy)  

Laser proofing can be remove but the image is no longer verified.
A charge may be made for removing laser proofing if done retrospectively  

Quark or Illustrator are best used to open and print barcode image files. Photoshop may cause issues with .eps files.  

Correctness of the barcode number and the reproduction quality of an image are entirely the responsibility of the user.   

Liability limited to the invoice value of the image supplied

We do not give advice or guidance on the application of barcode images.
