HBP recommends building your project in page layout programs such as Adobe InDesign or QuarkXpress. 
The following list of tips will make your job more efficient.

* Do not use font "styles". If the font does not have a bold or italic version, don't tag it that way. 
* Include all images and links
* All color documents and/or imported color files should be CMYK or PMS
spot color (not RGB). CMYK images should not be used in a spot color job 
* Delete unused colors from the color palette in your application. 
Do not use multiples of the same color (ie: Pantone 340 C, Pantone 340
CV, 340 CVC)
* Scans and non-vector based art should be 300 DPI resolution at the placed size
* Lineart/Bitmap images should be a minimum of 900 DPI
* Remove all unused text or graphics from the pasteboard outside
the document image area 
* Keep text and objects no closer than 1/8" from the trim 
* Items that print to the trim should extend (bleed) 1/8" past the trim 
* Do not "float" your document on an oversized page 
* When more than one fold is used, such as in a trifold brochure, the panel sizes will reduce as the folds accumulate
(Contact your CSR for panel measurements) 
* MS Word, MS Office, and other Word programs are not intended programs for color printing
* When creating a coil bound book do not set up your document as "facing pages." There will be no room for bleeds at the bind
* Spell check your files
