The system I have with seems to be standardised across the various design
companies and other printshops I deal with, hence the fact I use it ;).
Photoshop Files:
<Company Name><Desc of File Content><Colour Depth><dpi><File Format>
For example local restaurant menu (because I have been working on one)
Ricos XmasMenuCvr C 400 Tiff
C=CMYK, B=Black and White Bitmap, R=RGB
Adobe Illustrator:
<Company Name><Desc of File><Colour Depth/Pantone Refs.><File Format>
Ricos XmasMenuLogo C EPS
C=CMYK, B=B&W, PMS would be something like 289+ProcessBlue
Quark Express:
<Company Name><Desc of File><Print Size (paper)><Paper Type><Finishing>
Ricos XmasMenu01 SRA3 Mtx280 LS Turn A5 F
For an SRA3 print on Mellotex 280gsm Board printed Landscape paper turned
not tumbled, final size A5 folded.
It makes sense to us at least :D
