Checking your Colors with FlightCheck Professional - advanced Preflight tutorial

Color is one of the main items used in a desktop publishing or DTP layout. It is also one of the items that causes the most problems between graphic designers and printers. Especially due to the fact that the "talk" generally happens AFTER printing and not before. That is why preflighting is so important; especially with colours.

In this tutorial, Arnold Roosch goes over how to preflight check your colors. Which Ground Control rules to set-up for what and why in your production workflow. The technical checks are explained in detail and this video is for both the creator as well as the person whom outputs the file either to a PDF, a printer or to the Internet.

Whether it is RGB vs CMYK or how to find and delete ICC Profiles, this video should help and much more! Arnold exhibits the preflight process for colors using FlightCheck Professional v6 (new version coming out soon with CS4 and Quak 8 support). You can use these checks on anyone layout format that Markzware supports, like Adobe InDesign, QuarkXPress or Adobe Illustrator. Please visit our web page for more info:
