HeidelbergIn December of 2004 we purchased a digital imagesetter from Octagon Digital Media when they decided to shut down. Dependable Letterpress now offers film output services to other printers, in San Francisco and beyond. We will be using the same high-quality film stock that Octagon did, hopefully with the same level of reliability and conscientious care that Merrill and Michelle were known for.

  • We will look over your files before outputting and call if there are any questions, but it is your responsibility to preflight your files and double check that they are correct.
  • If you provide a printout or PDF that shows what the final file should look like, we will be better able to check for problems before outputting the film.
  • Files may be output from any high-quality graphics program. Vector art or high-resolution bitmap images are acceptable.
  • Please include all fonts used in the document to ensure fidelity to your artwork. Alternatively, saving fonts as outlines serves the same purpose.
  • For large files you can use www.yousendit.com or email us and we'll send you FTP information for uploading files.
