District Printing Best Practices

When ordering forms to be used with Image One’s RocketScan or Strata Apps software, you have the option to utilize your vendor for printing. Using your printer means that Image One will generate print-ready files as PDF and EPS to provide to your vendor. Do not use an office copy machine or similar device.  Since exact color or consistent scale cannot be produced from these devices Image One cannot guarantee satisfactory performance.

 

With this method, we have the following recommendations:

• Forms must be printed in color not black & white.
  
• Have printing be done in one run for each form.  If you need to print another run, please contact Image One for another barcoded file. This way, if there is an issue with the print from that run, it will be easy to identify the affected forms.
• For the red, the color is PANTONE Warm Red C.
• For the black, the color is PANTONE Process Black.
• Print on 50lb offset commercial printing paper.
• Do not accept home-printed copies! A form printed by a parent or guardian is not supported.

 

Failure to comply with these best practices may result in unsatisfactory performance for scanned forms with the RocketScan or Strata Apps software.
