Changing the Face of TV

The new Apple TV may revolutionize what we watch on television and when.

For about $300, Apple TV wirelessly syncs your iTunes library from any computer in the house and broadcasts the content through your television or home theater system.

For people with an iTunes library filled with music, podcasts, video podcasts (vodcasts), television shows, movies and photos, this means you can enjoy all your digital media in HDTV widescreen from the comfort of your living room.

Burgeoning Content

Many podcasts, vodcasts and major network television shows are available for free download, and some major studio releases can now be purchased through iTunes Music Store. Look for more big budget as well as independent movies and television shows to become available in the future.

And best of all, Apple TV allows you to watch a veritable smorgasbord of media whenever you want to watch it.

For now, it won’t replace your DVR or cable box, but as more content becomes available, it may develop into a must-have component for your home theater system.

To help meet the quick-turn needs of their clients, many print vendors are now accepting print-ready PDFs in lieu of final art files.

To ensure the best results when providing a PDF to your printer:

• Use the proper software to create a PDF/X-1a file
• Follow all printer specifications
• Always use CMYK colors for text and images, never RGB
• Call out any spot colors by noting proper PMS numbers
• Place images at 100% to keep file size to a minimum
• Embed all fonts and images

These simple steps save time and money by creating prepress-ready files that are often small enough to email.
