Hello. I have a A3 format little newspaper and for better printing quality i want to print it by ADOBE INDESIGN. Now i want some help from you to show me the best way how to print the pages. There are 6 pages 4 are in BLACK AND WHITE and 2 are in CMYK mode. If you can help me i would appreciate very much..THANKS!

Is it going to be 297 mm x 420mm? Is it going to be folded to A4? Is it 6 pages in total? Is the 2 pages a double spread with colour? Are you just going to print out the 6 pages and staple them at the left edge? Do you want to have the A3 open up to another A3 page? There are so many things to consider. Can you be more specific as to what you want to do.

So far you have 6 pages, but you would need 8.

It is going to be 297 x 420 mm. The purpose is that i have only 6 pages and after printing in a A3 letter it will be sent to a printing house. Now i just want to learn how to make the print in A3 letter to be with the BEST QUALITY. Thanks

Well, if you want it to be the best quality then you should use 300 dpi Images. When you place an Image you can view the DPI in the Windows>Info pallet, you can see there how many DPI your images are.

If you need to resize an image make sure that it doesn't go under 225 dpi, view the info pallet, you can go above 300 dpi as much as you like, but that will make for larger file size and ultimately a slower work flow.

The images you place won't appear high quality because the images that InDesign show you are only placeholders, thumbnails created by InDesign to simulate the design. If you want to view the quality of your images, then choose,

View>Display Performance>High Quality

Change back to Typical Display to continue working and to save on memory for your computer.

Once you have your type set and your images placed and you're layout done.

You should File>Export>PDF

Ask your printing company what the best PDF settings you should use, most printing places will have their own settings and can talk you through them.

Other than that, everything will be fine using InDesign and High Quality.
