hi, my pdf file is bigger than original Corel document after publishing PDF with preset PDF/X-4:2010. I did everything like last time created PDF, but got different result. What's wrong?
Thanx Stephan for your suggestions,
I will try to do your way.
Your method makes sense especially in todays environment. Technology today should have us creating output of the highest quality however the print industry has for a large part developed a malaise of mediocrity unsurpassed in print history.
In order to use high end features at most shops I literally have to go on-site to meet with senior management and in several cases I had to meet with the print shops technical service provider.
When quality is paramount matching TIC to the press and the media, understanding color shift using various coatings and the difference between (as an example) Global Graphics, Agfa and Meta RIPs is a must and the local technical staff today in most cases has little knowledge. In fact I once ask a pre press technician what the T8C was for his ink linearization dot gain curve was and his eyes glazed over, looking the the processing indicator in Windows, he then said, I push this button here.
The reality is that once all the details are handled a premium quality 6 color over 6 color print job costs no more than a crappy 6 over 6.
