PDF Settings

Getting the most from your artwork

By using Scott Print’s preferred distiller PDF settings clients are locking in the elements and increasing the integrity of their files.

Setting your artwork up for print
To get more information on how to set up your artwork, including clarification on bleed, crop marks and making a PDF, download our Scott’s Technical Information Guide.

Creating the pdf when colour is important
To create a PDF that will compensate for printing on coated or uncoated stocks, simply download our Distiller settings, this will require you to use theISOcoated_v2_300_eci.icc or Scotts_ISOuncoated_280_v2.icc profile (depending on the stock you are printing on).
If you need information on where to place these files on your computer download Where to put ICC profile.

Profiles to colour correct images
If you need to colour correct your images prior to placing them into your document download the Scotts_Coated.csf or Scotts_Uncoated.csf profile (depending on the stock you are printing on). If you need information on where to place these files on your computer download Where to put CSF.
