    Outlined type doesn't reproduce perfectly. Colors should be Pantone or CMYK (not just named). Strokes don't need to be outlined.

    If you're talking about exporting PDFs for press, specify a standard. Not all presses or budgets allow for spots so colors must be CMYK. All presses are a little different and all jobs are different so specs change from place to place, job to job.

    • < Outlined type in InDesign is a total bitch for fonts with strokes. There is no quick workaround for thisbiusness
    • for long publications, yes, but I have seen very WEIRD uses of indesign lately...maikel
