Hi Everyone!
Can anyone please give me proffesional guidelines on pre-press processes when dealing with photoshop art?????
I have a DVD cover and cd-face that needs to be proffessionaly printed(designed in photoshop).
The print press has sent me the following comments on the problems they have found:
We have found the following potential problems that we cannot fix. You can
have us continue production, but these issues may show up on your final
product.
NOTE 1
- type set as part of image
NOTE 2
- full-color disc printing uses neutral and/or brown tones, which can be
difficult to match on press
NOTE 3
- on-disc halftones fall outside of our recommended 15-85% tonal range.
Areas lighter than 15% may disappear, and areas darker than 85% may fill in.
NOTE 4
your on-disc design is similar to the color of the packaging design. Please
note that because of the different printing methods and the different
materials the end result may differ significantly.
The printers have a different color calibration than that of my artwork. The people's faces look sort of too orange or red and they mentioned that they were losing a lot of subtleties of the browns and blacks.
I have never dealt with a proffessional printing press before. Can anyone help me to overcome this challenge??!!
This will be greatly appreciated!! Thanks a million!!
