Please note that if your images are under 300dpi or have been enlarged by a considerable amount (which will decrease their resolution) then the print-ready PDF created using these settings will still contain low-res images as there are no settings to up-sample low-res images. * These settings will down-sample all images to 300dpi, which is high enough resolution for both digital and litho printing. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding the creation of print-ready PDFs. No two jobs are the same and there are many other settings that can be tweaked on a job-by-job basis. This is a very brief guide to help you output a hi-res* CMYK PDF that we will be able to print from. We need to split readers spreads back into single pages to be able to impose them. This creates readers spreads, not printers spreads. After extensive testing we have found that the coated FOGRA39 profile gives us the best CMYK colour conversion.
