HOW WILL MY CD ARTWORK LOOK WHEN IT IS PRINTED

Written by admin from on June 3rd, 2008 | 0 Comments

You have spent hours on your design shown it to friends printed it
out on your desktop laser inkjet printer, you love the colour and have
chosen the perfect typeface for all your text. How can you be sure what
you get back from the
houses using digital technology can relatively quickly and
inexpensively produce proofs of your work for you. A digital proof will
be exactly the same as the finished item and gives you the chance to
have one final check that everything is as you want it.

With modern digital technologies such as the HP Indigo digital press
printers are able to print just one copy of your job prior the printing
the whole quantity, without too much difficulty. This gives you peace
of mind before you commit to the whole print run.

If you do not want a proof there are certain steps that you can take
to minimise the risks. Always include with your artwork files a copy of
any fonts you have used, most professional design programs have a
function for doing this very simply. You might imagine that a font like
Helvetica or your computer would be the same as the Helvetica on the , the digital process will re-create this
colour by mixing the CMYK colours. Though the pantone matching
technology of modern digital presses is very advanced this may not
provide an exact match.
