Camera ready art

[JAOK]

Another question. Is there a way to print a Pub that is "camera ready". I have an inkjet printer that prints a very high quality document but my local printer service says the "dots" are wrong and he cannot use.

Any suggestions.

Joan,

Again, I would reccommend a printer that can handle Publisher. It's not easy to find one. Jon Holmen

Thanks,

I would like the name of your printer. You can e-mail me at qys@marathonkey.com. I have found a printer on line who specializes in Publisher files. I may try him sometime when I need 4 color printing.

Printers will print direct from your publisher file - not from a print out.

If you can't find a printer who handles publisher files, read your manual on how to create a postscript file.

Most printers will accept correctly prepared postscript files.

NB. Printing a postscript file does not mean printing something out onto paper, rather it creates a new file of your publisher doc. in postscript language and will add the suffix .prn after it.

Your printer will then be able to create a pdf from the postscript file via Acrobat Distiller.

If your gonna be doing a lot of 4 col. printing you need to buy Adobe Acrobat (not the free reader) which will allow you to create your own pdf's and view them afterwards to check that they're OK.

That's what the printer I use does. They take the actual Publisher files. Publisher "printer ready" outputs are useless. Jon Holmen
