Good point - I should clarify that if referenced by swatch they must be configured as spot colours.
What do you mean by outline type does not reproduce perfectly? It just transform the vector info on your font into native vectors for Illy... Although when using negative tracking I've seen quite unpredictable results...
I am trying to compile some good standards to check before hitting the export button, whether it is for a PDF or an EPS or a PS, or uncompressed tiff.
I guess each printer his own kind of file, but most people assume a press ready PDF prints ok, which is fine for simple projects... but when you throw in overprints, transparencies, files with different input profiles and a few spot colours or you print in different substrates, all go tits up.
- Don't know why, but sometimes small (<12 pt) outlined type prints badly. Just my experience.monospaced
- I actually have seen that in previous illy versions and other software packages... I guess it is to do with node optimisationmaikel
