Freehand production and output considerations

About the text: Generally, it is better to change all the characters to the curve when you do the manuscript. In this way, the output will not go wrong, it will also facilitate the output company, and it will be faster when it is released. Otherwise, wait for the output company to install the font before publishing and spending unnecessary time. Here, there is a question to remind everyone. If the text is within the clipping range, it is impossible to turn the curve without selecting the text alone. Be careful about this. Generally, if you want to check whether there is a full-rotation curve, you will use crtl+alt+e to call up the look-and-replace panel, and use the “find any font” function in the search.

About links: Linked images, or old problems, remember to use CMYK mode. Although the RGB format can be automatically converted to CMYK output when the film is output, the color and the actual color are too different. When copying the disk, remember to check carefully whether all link files are copied.

About EPS: In FH, one thing to note when importing an EPS file is that when you rotate the file, the white part of the picture becomes transparent (especially the bar code). This should be careful, in fact, is to show the reason, rather than really transparent, if you do not check it, there will be text bar code pressure. When it is time, it can only be repeated.

About TIF: If the imported file has the TIF format, remember to check each file and if there is a channel that has not been deleted. Because if the channel is not deleted, the output of the film will be more than a few colors (depending on the number of channels) and, if the output of the TIF file, do not use the compressed format, the output will be very slow.

About Gradient: After comparison, in all software outputs, the AI ​​output gradient is the most beautiful, followed by PS, followed by FH and CD. So if there are gradients in the file, it is best to use PS to do a good job of importing FH. Because if it is a large area of ​​the gradient, FH output is also more prone to error, which depends on the quality of the output company that imagesetter. But if you use PS, then surely no problem.

About imprinting: This is to pay attention to whether there is any pressure and no pressure, what should not pressure and pressure. In general, black is automatically set to imprint when the output of the company is output. This means that even if your document has black text or color blocks that are not embossed, the output company will automatically set it at the time of export. FH has a very good function is to show the imprinted place, but there are several times even if the imprint can not see, be particularly careful: First, when the import grayscale file, you can set imprinting , but can't see it on display. Second, when using FH as a gradient, it is not possible to see if the gradient is set to imprint. Take special care in these two places.

About the effect: Generally speaking, in the FH, do not use any effect of the "Apple + operation + D" panel. More than 70% of organic rates can go wrong. If you must use it, be sure to communicate clearly with the output company.

About register color: In FH, its register color function is very powerful. Can be displayed in each color version of the film, so there is a point of attention is to see whether the document in addition to the vertex outside the text or color blocks filled with register color, check the method is ctrl + alt + e face version "Find" the "find color", select the cover color, range "document". Take a closer look and see if there are any other places except the corners that are filled with registration colors.
