- Paper stock
- Spot colour reference systems
- Bleed
Bleed is for making sure colour runs right to the edge of the page, slug is for crop marks, colour test etc.
Document Setup:
Red is bleed area, blue is slug area
All colour needs to be contained in a frame, use swatches as you would in illustrator. Before bringing into inDesign convert all files to CMYK with 300dpi resolution and images need to be the actual size that they are going to be printed- save files as PSD or Tiff. If bringing in from illustrator save as Ai or you can just copy and paste from Ai to Id.
When you place a Psd file all swatches associated with that file are brought aswell:
Illustrator files appear as low quality in Indesign but they will print as they are in Ai. If you copy and paste straight from Ai images appear exactly how they will print.
If you select the image with the grabber hand you can change the colour of the black for any colour if the image is a greyscale tiff file.
make sure Layers is ticked- this preserves transparency
Splitting an image into CMYK
Go print > Output to select which colour layers you want to print.
