Creative Sessions Four

Creative Session Four.

We have been given a file to make sure that it is ready to be sent to be printed without any mistakes, as some have been deliberately done, for us to correct.


This is a five ink print job.
The client has agreed to this.


You are looking for 9 mistakes:

The is a jpeg. file image. 
The scale of the images is 12.9%
Another has been expanded to 233%
One of the images is RGB.
There is an RGB colour been used.
Pantone 363C is not needed in swatch palette.
The resolution of one image is 536PPI
Another resolution is too low 200PPI
The image on the left is not set of the bleed.
The ink of the website at the bottom has been used as a registration, rather than black.


To rectify these problems we need to:

We need to save the file as a tiff. or a psd. file then reconnect the link.
We need to open this image in photoshop and scale to the right size and save then it will automatically update.
We need to double click on the swatch and change it to CMYK & create a tint of it.
We need to delete this Pantone swatch before sent to print.
The resolution needs to be changed in to 300PPI on photoshop and then saved and it will be automatically saved.
You need to extend the image out to the end of the bleeds.
You just need to highlight the text and click on black to change the colour.


There is a greyscale image in Indesign but there is colour attached to it also. But it is a greyscale image in photoshop and they have added spot colour for the background in InDesign.


There is a quick way of finding all this information out.
It is by packaging it.
This makes a copy of your indesign file, and the images & fonts you have used. This is everything you have to give to the printer. But before it packages it, it will give you a summary about your document.

You can also save it as a PDF.
The highest quality is press quality, doesn't include bleed or crop marks.
High quality print is for proofs.
If you needed to email this then you can put it on issuu.
Smallest file size this is if you are transferring from pne computer to another, this wouldn't print well!
