2.2.2.4 Portability of files: Not all the files can keep their original visual features while crossing platforms. For those files which are not portable, no warranty is pledged for the integrity of output. If the customer wish to obtain an "identical" reproduction of the file he created on his/her desktop, he/she must convert them into portable files ready for output. The following file formats are portable:
    - most pixel base image files (preferably in CMYK mode): eps (without text content), tif, bmp, gif,  jpg
    - vector/line art without text content (i.e.  all character converted into path/curve): wmf, eps, ai, cdr, cmx, svg
    - text file: pdf
    Surcharge at current rate will be levied on the editing or retouching services rendered for preserving the visual features of output file(s) which is(are) not portable.
2.2.2.5 Data Integrity of file(s) using OLE technology: Object Embedding is preferred for inserting an object(s) into a file for output. If  an object(s) is(are) linked to a file, the linked object(s) must be saved with the master file(s) in appropriate location and the naming syntax of the link objects must conforms to the ISO standard(i.e. compatible to most CD-R or the media format of storage in transit). Illegal characters on Mac OS or Windows OS may cause missing link even the link object is present because the file name is changed in the copying process. Faulty output due to missing link should be the responsibility of customer.
2.2.2.6 Color Shift in Reproduction of Color Using CMYK Offset Printing:
           - Color Mode: All image files including linked or embedded objects must be stored in CMYK mode to ensure the accuracy in reproduction of color  because not all RGB or PMS colors are printable using the current printing technology.
          - Official Color Proof: Only conventional press proof is accepted as an official color proof in offset printing. All inkjet or laser printing, except those ripped by strictly calibrated software or hardware rip, can only serve as a proof of content.
          - Official Color Guide: In proofing the accuracy of CMYK color printing, only CMYK processing color guide published by reputable publisher such as "Pantones Processing Color Guide" should be used as an industrial standard of color reference.
          - Level of Toleration for Color Shifts: It is deemed that perfect reproduction of color is technically impossible. A reasonable level of toleration must be accepted by customers. Please refer to Annex 3 for the possible color deviation in offset printing.
2.2.2.7 Printing Specific Color Using Offset Printing:
          - Color Mode: All image files for offset printing in specific colors must be created in proper color mode with each  channel representing one specific color.
          - Official Color  Proof: same as 2.2.2.6
          - Official Color Guide: In proofing the accuracy of specific color printing, only relevant color guide published by reputable publisher such as "Pantones Color Formula Guide" should be used as a standard of color reference.
          - Level of Toleration for Color Shifts: same as 2.2.2.6
2.2.2.8 Resolution  of Pixel Based Image: All pixel based images must meet the minimum standard for a certain output purpose. For detailed specification, refer to annex 5 of customer support.

2.3 FILES TRANSMISSION VIA INTERNET:
2.3.1 Small File Transmission via Email Server: The overall size of every piece of message sent by e-mail via Internet must be less than 2MB or the limit set by the sender's ISP, whichever is lower.
2.3.2 Large File Transmission via FTP Server : For those files which size exceed the limit of email transmission. The customer may request in writing, by fax or by email for a temporary account on our FTP server and the logon information including server name, user name and a password valid in the next 24 hours will be sent to the customer by email. The customer must have an FTP client software installed on their computer. However, those files having a size over 100MB are temporary not recommended to be transmitted on internet. The customer must compress the file into zip or sit format before transmission.
2.3.3 Confirmation of Transmission: Transmission of data file must be followed by telephone call informing the delivery of output file via Internet. Double confirmation will be acknowledged to the sender while the  file(s) is(are) properly received. Proof reading must be carried out to ensure the integrity of data sent by e-mail via Internet.
2.3.4 File Format and Transmission Protocol: Before sending data or image files via internet, make sure that they are "internet ready" which means that they are compatible to the packet switching technology and transmission protocol on internet. In normal case, FTP (i.e. file transmission protocol) is more stable and reliable than HTTP (hyper text transmission protocol) especially for large files.
