I need more information. What kind of printing? 4 color process? Spot colors? Usually I do all screen printing in Illustrator using spot colors. If I’m going to print on a dark color fabric, I underprint white everywhere there is ink. You might want to check with the printer and see what they require.

You could ask your client to down save it for you. (File/Export/Legacy) That’s your best bet. You might be able to open it in Acrobat, I’m not sure. If you are sure you don’t have to make changes you could also open it in PhotoShop, just make sure you res is high enough. I’d recommend 300 dpi if it’s only pics, and 1200 dpi if there is a lot of text.(600 dpi minimum. Of course I’m talking about for print.

Can’t you dup the channwl and them use channel options to change it?

What program are you doing this in? Photoshop? If so, just take a sample of both blacks. if they are the same CYMK values, you’ll be ok. You can’t do it by sight.

Hi,
Whatever profile you are using, the person on the opposite end should opne it with the same profile. If you are sending a RGB picture, Adobe RGB (1998) should be fine. THe person who is opening you files should have “Preserve Embedded Profiles” set in Color Settings.
If the image still looks different, than one or both of you need to calibrate you monitors (or get new ones if they are really old)

Thanks Don,
I do plan on a trip to the Apple Store but my main concern is accuracy. I know LCD monitors all look good, bright and colorful, but its the accuracy of those colors I’m worryed about. When you are dealing with slight variations in flesh tones for the front of a box of a very importand product, I have to trust my monitor.
Everything I’ve read still says LCD still is not up to CRT standards. If you have any data otherwise, I’d love to read it. I’ve got to present material to my boses (we are going to by 12-15 monitors) and I’ve got a hole folder of material that support CRT’s in the area. In fact, here is a sample of the type of data I am finding
Preferences – Append File Extentions – Always
Hey,
I would like to help but I am just not following. I’ve used pathfinder a million times and never had a problem with it changing my points. Why would it? That’s not the purpose of pathfinder!
But to clearly understand you’d have to put step by step instruction to exactly what you are doing or I can’t help. You told me about cutting a circle and puting back together with corner points and then use the round edges filter. Of course you get a deformed circle and I can’t see where pathfinder comes into play.
Sorry Gimungus,
I just don’t understand. IF you use “smooth” rather that “corner” when you join them, doesn’t that give you what you want? I mean, if you are using “corner” and you get corner, I don’t understand the problem?
As long as you sure the layers are not hidden or locked, it sounds like somethings messed up with your Illustrator. I’d dump the preferences and if that doesn’t work, reinstall the app.
