Hi there
I have recently started making print designs (sized 8x10) and I wondered how I should set it up for print?
I've been doing it as a set size (8x10) and creating the designs in InDesign. When I save the document as a print file I save it as a PDF and JPG as 300DPI and under 'high quality file' and then send it to customers.
However, if I set it up as per the above, will any illustrations I create in another programme (such as illustrator) that I transfer into my InDesign document be saved as high quality and also CMYK? Or do I need to save as something else?
As it is a digital copy, I will be sending the digital copy to others to print themselves. Am I setting it up correctly or should I be doing differently?
Also - if I create the file in 8x10, are people able to change the sizes themselves without loss of quality or is it best to advise them to print in the size I orginally created it in?
Thanks for your help!
Lauren
