Reply To: Typeset in Colour or Black and White

@DCurry, thank you for your reply. I will not try to act as though I know what you’re talking about one hundered per cent, but I do have an idea since I was just going through the chapter on color by Blatner on Lynda.com as you sent that message, in it he was discussing things such as spot colour and swatches etc. I’m going to try and contact the printer and will also try to get my head around what you mentioned in the last paragraph over the next few days, depending on how fast I can get through these videos. The thing is I’m more of an enthusiast than someone working in the industry, I’ve always loved typography and type-setting but never got round to it, so now I’m learning it as an [almost full time] hobby and typsetting stuff for some friends, so because of that I don’t have any idea about what printing presses ask for or what their jargon is or what you guys who work in the field pick up on through daily interactions with each other. Hence the reason I’m beginning to live in InDesign forums lol. The only thing is it can feel embarrasing asking very basic questions, you tend to feel as though you may be bugging people by wanting them to break things down even more. I’ll get there hopefully.

Anyway, thanks for your input.
