First, the common disadvantages of Pagemaker and its treatment
It is difficult to align Chinese characters in Pagemaker: Within the same paragraph of text, there are "address: telephone: zip code:" and other contents require the alignment of the first and last words and the colon. The same number of words with the same font size will actually be missing! Only adjust the kerning method. It can be dealt with for the time being, but once the content is rotated, the old fault is again committed. In contrast to this, both Wess and Feiteng have done much better (usually using Ctrl+Shift+M or TAB to deal with it, it is not possible to split it into several blocks of text, manual alignment).
Automatically Generated Page Numbers: Pagemaker's best feature is not production, but its powerful typesetting and imposition capabilities. For example, use it to arrange more than 100 pages of books, illustrated, free to place text blocks, what you see is what you get, and can automatically generate page number: enter the main page (that is, the left end of the scroll bar is written with R and L Two pages), type Ctrl+Shift+3 where you want to add a page number. Each page number is generated automatically! Don't be too happy. If you request imposition output (that is, you compose two or four pages into one page), how can the page number not move? Have to manually add it slowly one by one. I think: If you want to make imposition, it's better to add the page number manually. You don't need to automatically add pages when you make an imposition.
Second, the common pitfalls in the output
Because there are too many pitfalls in the output process, we have to be extra cautious and fall into the trap of computers without paying any attention:
The RGB graph has not been converted to CMYK:
Consequences: Most software (such as FreeHand, PageMaker, etc.) will not separate RGB images. If you mistakenly use an RGB image, the color separation film that comes out of it will either have a map on the black plate only, and the rest of the color plate image will be partially blank, or there will be an equivalent grayscale image on the four color plates. Solution: Don't forget to convert RGB to CMYK before outputting. Tip: It is difficult to see whether it is RGB or CMYK from the file name or file icon. It is too much trouble to open them one by one. For TIFF images, it can be understood by looking at the link information. As for EPS images, they can only be checked one by one.
FreeHand fonts use Heavy (heavier), PageMaker fonts use Bold (bold):
Consequences: If the Chinese fonts used in FreeHand use Heavy, most cases will be ambiguous; while in Chinese in PageMaker Bold, it will certainly be overlapping words with teeth. There are also problems with other font effects in PageMaker. Solution: Try to avoid using the above effect. If the font needs to be bold, the corresponding bold Chinese characters should be used, such as selecting the bold typeface or bold typeface. If there is no corresponding bold text, you can use Fill and Stroke in FreeHand.
FreeHand using Fill and Stroke
Consequences: Use Fill and Stroke to make fonts bolder, or to make words with different colors. However, improper use can result in stencils, or the edges are too thick, and the colors of the characters themselves are crushed. Solution: 3% principle (original font size multiplied by 3%). If the font itself is bold, the proportion should be smaller.
Misuse of JPEG compression format
Consequences: There is an image on the screen and the output is missing. Solution: In the PhotoShop software, save it back to TIFF or EPS format and go back to Pagemaker to re-link.
Big picture thumbnail or rotating picture
Consequences: The time that affects the output. Solution: Zooming graphics in layout software is convenient, but at the cost of multiple or multiple output times, so be sure to set the size and resolution in image processing software (such as Photoshop) and then place the layout software.
Segment headers, tables with spaces
Consequences: Qualified text or forms on the screen are missing. Solution: If you use PageMaker or QuarkXPress, the software itself has a very good indentation positioning function, you can make a very professional and very neat form. As for the paragraph head, it should be set in the row.
Mispattern Pattern Fill in FreeHand
Consequences: FreeHand has a pattern fill that fills a regular pattern with a regular pattern. This type of pattern is latticed, and the Level 1 RIP image-setter provided earlier does not support such a padding output, and the Levell 11 imagesetter can output. But one thing to note is that you can't set colors outside the field for it. If you try to set a light color of C10%Y10%, although it is displayed on the screen, the output must be 100% dark green for CY! Solution: Unless not used.
Bottom black and white figure
Storing graphs in Grayscale as TIFF images in Photoshop and placing them into Freehand is problematic - if a grayscale graph is selected under a black overprint, then the white part of the Grayscale graph becomes a color patch or if it is underneath. The corresponding part of the basemap, the reason for this problem is that the Freescale is placed in Photoshop's Grayscale map default fill color is K100, in the choice of black overprint, the white part is considered to be CMYK are zero, which naturally reveals its color The version of the color, for this case, there are two ways to solve: First, in Photoshop, the Grayscle into CMYK, in the Channel dialog CMYK total Channel selec all, copied to the Channel Black, and then delete the C, M, Y three channels in the image; Another approach is to Freehand, the Grayscale map fill to Y1, K100, so that in the choice of black overprint will not be a problem.
Output low accuracy map
Put a picture in Pagenaker and you will be asked to include it or not. In the case that the image is a discolored EPS image, it only contains a file header. Its interpretation is very low, and its megabyte is less than PageMaker's threshold. PageMaker automatically includes this header, and no longer smelt the remaining DCS. In the case of a color file, the output will become a low-accuracy map. Similarly, the diagrams included in the PageMaker file are modified in other software. PageMaker does not re-link, and old ones that have not been modified at the time.
Third, the output skills
The graphic produced in Illustrator can not be directly used for four-color output. When placed in the Freehand output, it often disappears after small or inverse graphics output. The Freehand format should be selected when Illustrator is saved and opened directly in Freehand. With Freehand, use less fonts for Inline, Outline, and Pattern to avoid complex images affecting the output quality.
When Freehand outputs EPS image to PageMaker file, do not Join Element, otherwise the output will often have problems, and PageMaker put the EPS line drawings, the output can not be automatically black version of the overprint, to be black on other software overprint Only after the output.
Freehand makes gradient output ladder, if you want to get better output, set high resolution in the page settings before making, also recommend the use of Photoshop or Illustrator to create gradients, Illustrator can easily make a variety of Multiple gradients.
CorelDraw is the most typesetting software used by users on PCs. To get the best film or proof in the shortest possible time, please don't use RGB color to fill the block or line in the production process; the number of nodes of the text after controlling the curve is controlled within 1500 points; Minimal use of PSD format for graphics files; Pantone special colors available for spot colors; Pantone printing colors are not available.
Before printing, you must pay attention to the following issues:
According to the software produced, select the appropriate print output method.
The color picture (TIFF) mode in the text must be CMYK mode with an accuracy of at least 300*300 dpi.
Check if the text in the publication is four-colored black, and if it is, change it to monochrome 100% black.
If Pagemaker, Wess, Founder, and Illustrator are used, the linked image file must be copied along with the original file.
PhotoShop files are best made with PSD files for easy modification.
Fonts are best used in common fonts, such as Founder, Arbor. Try not to use rare fonts. If used, the Coreldraw and illustrator first convert the text to the Outline mode, avoiding the problem that the output center cannot output without such a font. If you have a make-up file, you must copy the make-up file.
Find out the finished product size, printing paper, etc. of the printed matter to facilitate the imposition, hanging net, and add corresponding mark information.
As long as we make full use of the strengths of each software and learn from each other, we can overcome the shortcomings of each software itself. At the same time, we must also master more output techniques to escape traps and eliminate any minor mistakes, so as to make the next step Submitting a piece of qualified product provides the prerequisite for printing quality!
