Preferred Lightjet 5000 Service

For experienced users in an ICC color environment that want control to manage their own color and set up their own files.

The following criteria is needed to qualify for this pricing

1. Must be a raster file (Photoshop tiff, RGB, 8bit). Vector/Postscript files do not qualify for preferred pricing.
2. File color must be converted to our Lightjet ICC profile color for the appropriate media. Note: In Photoshop 5.x use profile to profile...In Photoshop 6.x and later use “convert to profile” before saving. Embedding the profile tag is optional, but recommended. You must do the file color conversion indicated above for ICC profiles to work.
3. Scanned and/or created with a proven ICC managed color workflow system (Calypso has tight Lightjet linearization tolerances, but is not responsible for client color management). “Adobe RGB 1998” or “Ektaspace” is the recommended working space. We encourage clients to run controls at print time.
4. Any borders need to be created in the file’s “canvas”. White borders should also have a 4-pixel black inside stroke for trimming purposes.
5. File must be saved as a RGB uncompressed Tiff format, 8bits per channel, no extra channels or paths, and saved in landscape (horizontal) orientation. Burn to CD in ISO 9660 standard or Macintosh format.
6. We can archive your file at Calypso at a cost of .10/MB.
