Ten issues in the publishing process

In the process of distribution, there are often some problems, such as: missing words, misplaced characters, garbled characters, image distortion, and so on. In fact, a lot of problems can be avoided by paying a little attention to the production. Here, some problems that need to be noted in the production are put forward for your reference.

1. Many people who do typesetting know that they can't choose bold text when processing text. This can cause ghosting at the edge of the text (Chinese). If you need to use thicker text, you should use bolder lines.

2. When you select a font, you need to use a font that has been installed as a photo song. If you are using the TURETYPE font that is not installed in the imagesetter, you need to select the download font. However, the OS 8.5 and OS 8.6 systems have some problems with the download process, and sometimes there are problems with throwing strokes.

3. Check the imprint before printing, Pagemaker automatically embossed in black, but some of the color, lines need to do it yourself, Freehand, III ustrator and other software need to set the black version of the imprint. For other colors you need to imprint in the software you need to set. In particular, it should be noted that the place where the gray check is to be checked after imprinting is not imprintable.

4. III ustrator software does a good job directly on the page layout speed is relatively slow, and sometimes the page size will change, you can save it as an EPS file into the Pagemaker publish, faster, but the imprint effect is not, so need to be based on the page situation Select the posting method.

5. It is best not to rotate, crop, or scale the image in the typesetting software. Rotating the image in the typesetting software will increase the amount of calculations and increase the time for publishing. In the typesetting software, the image display is coarse, and the cropping and reducing images are inaccurate. Without reducing the amount of information in the image, the time of presentation cannot be shortened; in the typesetting software, the enlargement of the image will affect the image quality. Therefore, it is best to complete the rotation, cutting and scaling of the image in the scanning and image processing software.

6. In the process of making typesetting, especially in Chinese and English mixing, pay attention not to use full line and forced line, because the page is often aligned on the screen, but the actual output does not complete this function. .

7. Some RIPs will have a significant boost when dealing with a 100% 0% gradient from the Pagemaker 6.5 software. Adding noise to the gradient image in Phptoshop can solve this problem.

8. Some RIPs will make mistakes when dealing with the largest TIFF image of the output of the imposition software. Therefore, it is better to store the image with a large amount of information in the EPS format and then put it into the production queue.

9. Use the PC platform layout software to send in and out, try to avoid the use of downloaded fonts for output, this situation has a high probability of problems, there are often garbled problems, should be installed on the PC platform and RIP at the same time the same font.

10. When outputting a page created on the PC platform using WORD software, it should be noted that the page should be a monochrome page because the color pages produced by the WORD software are all in RGB mode and there will be certain problems in the output, even if the RIPK separation is also frequent An error occurred.
