InDesign 20.10.10

8 mistakes 

1. No bleed on the first page 

2. Two spot colours not in use

Select all unused of the swatch palette

Images need to be the right size 

Resolution has to be 300 dpi

Needs to be in CMYK 

File format needs to be correct, PDF or TIF cannot be a jpeg

3. Tree silhouette- link missing 

4. Bird 3 is in RGB not CMYK 

5. Blue swatch is also in RGB not CMYK

6. The resolution for bird 1 is 72 dpi  not 300 

7. Scale of bird 5 isn't 100% because the size has been changed in InDesign 

not in Photoshop 

8. Back cover has been filled with the registration colour so is over 

the limit

Separations preview - ink limit- anything over the limit will show up red.

Links palette- click on the pencil to edit the original image for example if you need to change the size of the image or the resolution

To tell it what program to open with when you click on 

the pencil 

file folder - click on the image- get info- open with 

change to photoshop

Change to percentage when editing scale in photoshop

Image 3 saved in RGB- Edit it on photoshop
Mode- CMYK

Image size- cannot make the resolution higher. Need to get a new image 

As soon as you save it, it will immediately update on InDesign 

If you do not have the original illustrator file it will print very pixelated. If you do have the file it will print exactly the same as it looks on illustrator 

You need to have all the image files present

When finished on InDesign 

File- package 

Gather together everything necessary for the file to work 

Links and images - save

can add notes i.e do not print spot colour... 

'Preflight'

Legality warning will pop up 

You can give the printers a copy of your adobe font. It is now legal

Will now have a copy of all images, fonts, etc and can now be sent to print

or.. can save as a PDF 

This will embed all the images, fonts etc into one file 

File- PDF presets- Press quality 

Smallest file size- If you want to send it to your client to check over will look good on screen but not when printed 

Export

Marks and bleed 

Use documented bleed settings 

PDF will be smaller than package file
