Reply To: Pre-press queries

G'day

I've had no problems with FOGRA in Australia and China. Another good suggestion which has always worked for me is to export as PDF/X-1a (Acrobat 4 compatible) — this converts everything into pure CMYK, rather than embedding profiles and whatnot.

Crops, rego and page information is a good basic set of printer marks, irrespective of whether or not you've got bleed. Probably best to ask the printer what they prefer.
