What You Will Learn?
- Sending a PDF to a printer is usually a stressful time for graphic designers. What's going to happen to it? Will the colors change? Will it come back looking too 'contrasty'? These (and more) are common problems, and this course will help. It will tell you why things change as they go through the printing process, and how to fix them. It explains resolution requirements and what happens to pixels when they become...dots. And, how to adjust the preset settings when you make the final PDF. Then you can relax! It's all easy enough, but it's important – and most people don't know how to do it. But if you follow along, your work will look far better..
