Process items that designers need to pay attention to before printing include:
1. Text twisting: In order to avoid the situation that the font cannot be recognized and the layout is confused after the printed documents are delivered to other people's computers, designers generally perform twisting before delivering the printed documents to avoid unnecessary rework.
2. Picture resolution: Make sure the resolution of all pictures meets the printing requirements, usually it needs to reach 300dpi.
3. Color mode: Confirm whether the color mode of the design file is correct. In general, prints should use the CMYK color model instead of RGB.
4. Bleeding setting: In order to avoid cutting to the content after cutting, it is generally necessary to set the bleeding, add a large 2-4mm (common bleeding is 3mm) around the color block and the picture at the position of the die-cutting line, please remember to reserve the position "bleeding" to ensure the finished product, so as not to be cut by mistake.
5. Image embedding: In order to avoid a large area of image loss after the printing house gets the document, the designer will check whether the image has been embedded before delivering the design file.
6. Process annotation: In order to save communication costs, designers will generally mark the corresponding process on the finished manuscript before the delivery of the printed documents, such as the type of paper used in each issue of the magazine and the number of grams, where special processes need to be used, etc.
7. Paper selection: Choose the right paper type and gram size according to the purpose and design style of the print.
8. Color calibration: Especially when a large number of highly saturated color blocks are used in the design, you need to ensure that the colors perform as expected on the print. This may require color correction confirmation with the printer.
