Consult us on your work in progress, to insure that you are maintaining the density and consistency in your images. Convert Text to Curves. Nothing chokes an image setter faster than a graphic with embedded fonts. Inevitably, after placing the graphic in your document, you forget to include the font. Or your page layout system may not recognize the font.
All draw programs have the ability to convert text to curves.
This is the most common error our customers make. While your graphic may transfer easily from your illustration or paint program into your page layout program, your Panatone spot colors may not. SO, for spot color and duotones in particular, stick to cyan, magenta, yellow, or black. Go ahead and use rubine red or metallic silver for your monitor or color proofs. But when you send us a document with spot colors, convert your Panatone 212 to something simple like cyan.
