Using FlightCheck as a Graphic Designer
Using FlightCheck Professional as a Designer
As a Designer, you worry about your design. Creating your designs is the thing you live for. Once they are done, you want to be confident they are printed just the way you intended them without unnecessary delays. How many times have you sent a file only to find out that the printed piece did not look the way you intended? Images that did not appear as you thought they would, a graphic resolution that you thought was higher, trapping that did not produce the desired effect.
Using FlightCheck Professional or FlightCheck Designer can help you prevent these problems. Both programs enable you to check your file for hundreds of potential prepress problems. Now, all you have to worry about is your design; FlightCheck will warn you about every possible problem that will effect your final print.
Today, everyone is using PDF so the responsibility for creating error-free files weighs more heavily on the designer. It is even more important than ever to get your files right the first time and this cannot start after creating the PDF, rather, it starts when you first set up your new design project. As you are setting up, creating or correcting the working document, you should be aware of all settings you use, the quality of every imported image, the use of every colour. To make this a lot easier for you, simply use FlightCheck Professional or Designer to check and correct your working file BEFORE you create a PDF. This way, it’s easy to guarantee your file is OK and the PDF you create will be correct as well. Furthermore, you will not have to make corrections in the PDF file which ensures that your source file is exactly the same as the resulting PDF file.
It’s easy to collaborate with your printers using FlightCheck Professional and Designer. You can import the Ground Control sets from every printer you work with. After that, just select the set of your choice and FlightCheck will take a look at every single element in your design to see if they live up to the expectations for the print shop you want to use.
This important designer tool helps you insure that your creative files will print as you expect at the print shop of your choice. No more phone calls about stalled projects, no more disappointing print results.
