What's the best configuration for print?

Hi,

I'm designing a brochure for print. I have a bad experience with color not being printed correctly. Color mode was set to cmyk. What's the best configuration for print?

 

Thank you.

  • Hello Ema; You need to know what the printer is looking for and the limits of the type of file you have. ( some printers don't do CMYK to well and may need RGB )

    • So if I talk to the printer what exactly should I ask? Thanks

      • Ema it you are sending the work out to get printed it is best to ask the people that are doing the work what they use. I use a "PDF" file to send to the people that do our printing at 600 dpi. If you check here you may find someone that wants the work, or I can give you the name of who we use it you are in the USA,
          Ask them what program they use and what type of color settings.
