Do you know that 90% of all error happen in the pre-press stage?

There are 7 horrible mistakes most offset printers make in the pre-press stage that can ruin your job completely. They are:

1. Colour Reproduction: Will the colours you see on screen match with the final print or will it be a complete disaster?
2. Font Handling: Will the fonts in your final print appear correctly or will there be a complete mismatch?
3. Handling RGB to CMYK colour conversion: Does the printer have the necessary colour profile handling expertise? If not, it can ruin your print job and the printer shall blame you for this disaster.
4. Handling Transparencies: Whether the transparencies in images and artwork will be reproduced accurately or will your artwork become absolutely flat?
5. Handling File Formats: Will the large scale printer be able to handle your favourite file format (pdf, Illustrator, Pagemaker, InDesign, Corel Draw, Photoshop etc.) or will he force you to do the extra work of file format conversion?
6. Job Technicalities: Do you not know the technicalities of book printing and binding e.g. bleed, spine, margins and color registration markings and the printer instead of helping you is creating a nuisance about it?
7. Post-Press Requirements: Is your offset printer NOT equipped to fulfil your special requirement and/or recommend appropriate post-printing enhancements like UV, textured UV, Foiling, Lamination, Die-Punching, Drip-off, Laser cutting etc. that can make your job really stand out and also fit your budget?
