some things i´d suggest to add/edit:

* converting into curves possible, but then the printer can´t edit missspellings themselfs and for e.g. folders with a lot of txt explode in size and make printers angree if they got slow machines

* NEVER PRINT A PDF, save! it to get the right colors (plain cyan stays plain cyan and doesn´t get converted to xy% of C M Y and K)

* Provide your main/reference colors as ai-palletes (spelled correctly?)

nice blog and thanks for the post.

Nice list, Arron! I know I was guilty of mixing up spot and process colours with my first couple of print jobs.

I always find it worth running a pre-flight check to make sure that I haven’t let any RGB files slip through the net. With rush jobs especially, it’s something that can get passed over if I’m editing a large batch of images, so it’s good to have a final scan through the Links panel before sending out.

Thanks for the tips. I’ve linked my name to an in-house print document for supplying artwork and works for print, much of it you’ve covered in your post.
Thanks.

@El Loco – There is completly no need for such a hostile comment, every one who has commented so far contributed with some extremly constructive points to build on Arrons article.

@Arron – Good work.
