TALK TO YOUR PRINTER CHECKLIST
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED IN YOUR INITIAL DISCUSSIONS

•    Once the delivery date has been established, what is the interim production schedule?
•    When does the printer need the files and colour artwork?
•    What are the requirements for preparation of the electronic files?
•    Does the artwork need to be released before the electronic mechanicals so the printer can
•    begin separations?
•    Can the piece be printed in 4-colour process or should extra spot colours be considered? What
•    are the risks to colour images resulting from background tinted areas or the need to accurately
•    hold specific brand related colours?
•    Does it have to match an existing product or another printed piece?
•    What kinds of coatings are desired or required, and will these necessitate a second pass?
•    Do the images being reproduced present any special difficulties themselves?
•    Does the layout of the book present any colour conflicts?
•    Does the layout present problems in terms of running the kind of colour density you’ll need?
•    Are there any crossovers that will present special problems?
•    Does the piece need to be shrink-wrapped or require any other special packaging that will take
•    additional time from the schedule?
•    What do these issues do to your budget and schedule?
•    Does the printer have all of the fonts included in your piece? Will you need to forward the fonts?
