From Design into Print: Preparing Graphics and Text for Professional Printing
A designer in New York creates a beautiful design but when she prints it the colors become muddy. An art director in Seattle sends a file to the print shop, and they call him to say the job wonâ€™t print. The editor of a college paper canâ€™t figure out why all the pictures in the paper are jagged. And a freelance designer is Chicago needs to bid on her first print job. Linescreen, DPI, CMYK, RIPs, bleeds, spots, and spreads: Why didnâ€™t they teach this stuff in design school?

Sandee Cohen comes to the rescue, whether youâ€™re producing your first newsletter or youâ€™re an experienced graphic designer who needs to come up to speed on professional-level printing. Sheâ€™ll tell you how to make your desktop printer behave, and will take the mystery out of dealing with print providers. Youâ€™ll learn all the necessary techniques, the terminology, and the rules of printing (and when you can break them). Itâ€™s like having your own production manager standing over your shoulder. The copious information in From Design Into Print will have your designs looking as stunning in print as they do on your monitor.
