| Transparency Flattener Presets |
| Before biggining to work on your project's art, make
sure the Documents Transparency Flattener Presets are correct. On
the Menu bar, click Edit, then select Documents Transparency Flattener Presets... Click High Resolution, then OK. |
| Placing Images |
| To place an image or graphic in Adobe InDesign, on the menu bar click
File, then Place. Use the window that comes up to navigate to the file
you want to place, select it, then click Open (Note: make sure the
Replace Selected Item check box is NOT checked). A small icon with an arrowhead and paintbrush appears. Move
this icon to the top left of the position you want to place the image
or graphic in your document or on the pasteboard and left click. The image
or graphic appears. Now fine tune the placement of the object either
through the Transform tools or by using the click-and-drag method. |
| Spot Colors |
| When working with spot or PMS colors, make sure you select only PANTONE® Solid Coated (for coated papers) or PANTONE® Solid Uncoated (for uncoated papers) colors. Do not choose Matte,
Solid-to-Process, Hexachrome, EURO or any other type of PANTONE® color. Do not choose HSB, LAB, RGB, TOYO, TRUMATCH or web-safe
colors. Do not mix different types of color within a document.
For instance, do not set artwork as PMS 185 C in one piece of
art, PMS 185 U, in another and PMS 185 CVC in yet another. When
the document goes to press they will show up as three different color
seperations instead of one. |

proceeding. |
| Sending Native .indd Files |
|
After checking your file for: fonts are all loaded;
images are linked, tiff or eps and cmyk format; colors are all set to
process (not spot), continue to click on the Package button. This will
copy all images and fonts along with the InDesign file to a new folder
ready to send off to be printed. In the next window, put a checkmark
by: copy fonts, copy linked graphics, update graphic links in package,
include fonts and links from hidden layers. (Even though a layer is
hidden, the elements are still in the file. Either delete the hidden
layer (best option, smaller file size) or be sure to include the hidden
layer elements. Files will not print if elements are not included. |
