Book description
This book gives designers the confidence to do everything necessary to ensure trouble-free, high-quality printingâÂÂto calibrate images (color and black and white); adjust trapping levels in all the major software applications, and mix colors that won't print as something that is a complete surprise. It explains scanning and resolution, and discusses good and bad image formats, describing techniques to make images look good in printâÂÂeven if they have been downloaded from the internet. There is advice on how to get accurate quotes from a printer, a checklist to use when sending a job to print, and a glossary of print production terms.
