    Prontoprint, when you print to the printer are you using the correct PPD for the specific printer? Also, are you using the higher value of screen ruling/frequency in the print output panel? If printing to a laser printer (which supports postscript) you can always add a slightly larger value for the screen ruling: eg: 120lpi and 2400dpi. And you can try also with a PPD of an imagesetter and use/enter the page size manually. I found that this always solves my printing problems.

    PS – remeber that higher values make the images darker!

    Hi there.

    A couple of points I would like to add. 1) Svega, have you looked at the Pages Panel options of 'Allow document pages to shuffle' and 'Allow selected spread to shuffle'? Look at the user guide if they help in your issue of moving pages. Also, you may have misunderstood what the printer requirements are: you should first supply them with an high-res pdf with all elements embedded and as a back up the Indi document collected. I am also a prepress operator and usually we also ask clients to supply collected pages items for the simple reason of pages items display or corrections (often colours and rgb pictures that don't convert properly to cmyk) at last moment before going to press. And yes, the client can supply the fonts legally as long as the printer/prepress doesn't use them for other workflows/clients and don't keep a copy (return to client policy. I always return the supplied CD/DVD). 2) For a 'imposition' software, look at Croptima InPlate (croptima.com): I have used the older version (is free if you are using the old Indi CS2) and the newer one is even greater and not expensive at all.

    Regards.

    Hi Krysteena.

    Could you please let know how you did create the logo. InDesign, or Photoshop, or Illustrator, etc.

    Either software gives you the option to add to the blue and red colours a border(stoke) large enough for the bleed: say at least a couple of mm/points (make sure the sits behind the red and white colours. Also, don't forget to create a keyline to the size of the circle and of a colour that will not be printed and make it to overprint; at output print it as a separate plate.

    Let us know.

    Bye
