You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.170.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 July 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((Short description|Document technically ready to print))

((More citations needed|date=April 2007))
'''Camera-ready''' is a common term used in the commercial printing industry meaning that a document is, from a technical standpoint, ready to "go to press", or be printed.

== History ==

The term camera-ready was first used in the photo [[offset printing]] process, where the final layout of a document was attached to a "mechanical" or "[[paste up]]". Then, a [[stat camera]] was used to photograph the mechanical, and the final offset printing plates were created from the camera's negative.

In this system, a final paste-up that needed no further changes or additions was ready to be photographed by the process camera and subsequently printed. This final document was ''camera-ready''.

This artwork may have looked messy to the naked eye or to a modern consumer digital camera - covered in various pieces of paper attached with adhesive or wax and composited with white out, gouache, tape and blue pencil (non-reproducible) and red masking film, black or clay-based paint (reproducible as black) - but appeared perfectly uniform to the monochrome reproducing camera used for print reproduction.

== Present usage ==

In recent years, the use of paste-ups has been steadily replaced by [[desktop publishing]] software, which allows users to create entire document layouts on the computer. In the meantime, many printers now use technology to take these digital files and create printing plates from them without use of a camera and negative. Despite this, the term ''camera-ready'' continues to be used to signify that a document is ready to be made into a printing plate.

In this new digital-to-plate system, a digital file is usually considered ''camera-ready'' if it meets several conditions:

# It is created with a software program commonly used in the printing industry, such as [[LaTeX]], [[Adobe InDesign|InDesign (Adobe)]], [[Adobe Illustrator|Illustrator (Adobe)]], [[Macromedia Freehand|Freehand (Adobe/Macromedia)]], [[QuarkXPress|Quark XPress (Quark, Inc)]], and exported in a commonly used file format, such as [[Encapsulated PostScript|EPS]], [[Portable Document Format|PDF]] and sometimes [[Tag Image File Format|TIFF]]. [[JPEG]] images are usually considered ''not camera-ready,'' as the [[Image Compression|compression]] used in the JPEG format deteriorates the quality of the image.
# The document uses the correct color setup. If printing a (full) color document, all graphics should be converted to [[CMYK color model|CMYK]] (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black). If it is a [[spot color]] document, the color(s) to be used by the printer must be specified in the digital file.
# The layout is created at the correct and final size to be printed, and the document size in the desktop publishing program matches the size of the final printed piece.
# Text or graphics that are intended to [[bleed (printing)|bleed]] off the page of the final printed piece should be extended off the document boundary in the digital file. The amount varies depending on location, but is usually 1/8 inch in the US, and 3mm in metric systems.
# Fonts used in the digital file are converted to [[vector graphics]] (usually defined by the software as "convert to paths" or "outline text"), or alternatively, the fonts are included in the final digital package sent to the printer.  The inclusion of fonts in this way is called "embedding".  Be sure to embed your fonts if possible.  Some fonts cannot be embedded due to copyright or usage rights. 
# [[raster graphics|Raster]] or image files are originally created at high resolution settings, such as 300 DPI (dots per inch). This ensures a high quality image. Images saved from Internet web pages are usually low-resolution, 72-dots-per-inch JPG or GIF files, which are not considered camera-ready.
