As mentioned in the previous article, one of the key things to note when working for any print project is the resolution of the image. The other factor to note is color mode – specifically for all print projects, your ultimate destination would be CMYK. Why not RGB? This is because printers create colors differently on a printing press as opposed to colors on a computer screen. In Photoshop, a good way to gauge how a printed work would look like on paper is to turn on Proof Colors. If anything looks wrong or not what was intended, make the appropriate adjustments. Seek to foster a good relationship with local printers, as they will be invaluable when it comes to getting advice and ensuring a job well-printed.
