Good day!
What kind of file do you send to the customer for approval?
I don't have to send any where i now work, but when i had to, i send a normalized pdf, prinect normalizer produced.
That was the client file, preflighted and ''fixed'' by prinect's normaliser tool.
Fixes, as far as i remember, were basic stuff, overprint black's , rgb's to cmyk, hairlines etc (and some not so basic, but i don't see the need for a book printer to buy a trapping license ).
If the client file ''passed'' the normalizer, it would rip through metadimension, so the normalised file is what he got to approve.
I'm doing some work on a small printer lately, who just bought a ctp, and a metadimension rip, and must sent approval files to his clients.
Till now, the approval files was sent to his clients from his film maker partner.
They are ''normalised'' files from prinergy or apogee, as i quickly checked.
Since i don't have a normaliser now, what would my options be, to send a safe pdf to the client?
The signastation pc arrived with acrobat dc and pitstop 18 installed.
Meta does have a pdf export, but a 5mb book file rips to 150mb at 300ppi - i don't like to think what file a color catalogue would produce-
Thanks in advance!
