Ramlondon Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Just downloaded the trial of Designer (Adobe must be worried), very well laid out and informative. Whilst most of the layout is straightforward and there are lots of help videos etc I have one question. All the setup options (I am neither a printer nor a typesetter) how do you know which options to pick? Are there any guidelines or explanationsdefinitions if you are sending stuff off to online commercial printers?
v_kyr Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 Usually the prepress (industrial printing) guys tell you here, what and how they need the individual stuff to be setup. Many have also information material, tutorials, guidelines and templates (for certain related software) etc. about all that. - When in doubt just ask them, if they (the prepress company) are also good in service, they will make sure you get things right setup and handled over to them then. ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2
toltec Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 As v_kyr says, you need to talk to the printers. As a base set-up for litho, use 300 dpi and design in CMYK. You won't go too far wrong with that. Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions.
