Why do you use TIFF for print files? I've never heard of anyone using TIFF in an InDesign file. I'm currently putting together a graphic novel and I don't know if I should be importing 300 dpi JPGs, PDFs, or now TIFFs into InDesign to provide the best print. I've been importing and embedding 300 dpi JPGs in CMYK into InDesign and artifacts keep showing up. Is it bc I'm using JPGs and not TIFFs or PDFs? (Final book export is PDF)

TIFF files hold the most information. They are uncompressed. JPG files are compressed and lose information as they are converted. For print, I solely use CMYK TIFF files. If I am making a presentation or something that will live online, I will use JPG. Sometimes, an image is tiny, and the loss of detail will not be noticeable. I will also use a JPG file. Your artifacts might be because of the conversion to JPG. Try taking your original art file and saving it as a TIFF instead.

Thank you! It's very helpful tutorial! I have a question: do we need to outline all the text?
@dzobeltutorials4610

when you package the file it will collect the type and the print shop will install the type when they open it. If you outline the type and they find a typo or something they cannot fix it.

thx it was really helpful but i got one question: i wonder why we have to choose the colour as in increments of five and not anything else. Cause we still use CMYK, why not can't use other any numbers for it???

Great question. It comes down to how you are printing it. If it is a digital print going to a digital printer, it probably doesn't matter. But it makes a difference if you are printing to a commercial printer that uses plates and real mixed ink. They have to make the ink based on your CMYK % numbers. So if it is in increments of 5, it will be easier to reproduce.

Hey! Should you also change the image to 300 dpi in PS? Thanks in advance!
@dzobeltutorials4610

If you plan on using images, it's recommended to use ones that have at least 300 dpi. While you can get away with using images that are 150 dpi, it's not ideal. It's best to start with high-resolution images from the beginning, as converting low-resolution images into high-resolution ones can be tricky. If you're interested, Photoshop (PS) is the go-to software for this task.

curious, do you not outline the fonts before sending it to the print shop? (to avoid font changes)

@@dzobeltutorials4610 thanks for the reply. but i’m not sure if it’s just my settings or it doesn’t package adobe fonts (the ones synced from typekit)? had this problem before and I wonder how others usually handle these files.

@@eggimage yeah your right it will notpackage the adobe synced fonts, but it should prompt the use to activate them from indesign. You should also send a PDF with the InDesign file as well just in case there are some issues they can print from the pdf.

Is converting to fogra39 in pdf settings doesnt resolve the problem of rgb images?
@dzobeltutorials4610
Жыл бұрын
the fogra39 setting is more for hte output for printing. You really should have all your images converted over to CMYK and not leave in RGB when exporting your PDF. That is assuming you are getting this ready for a traditional press printing. If you are printing using Direct to Plate printing (most online printers) they may have some different options. They can usually handle RGB images better.

Your right. I did make that mistake. I didn't realize it. I said quarter of an inch, but it should have been 1/8
