Designing For Ink, Not Light

RGB vs. CMYK- two very different ways of representing color

Registration Nightmare #1 - printing fine rules with multiple inks

Registration Nightmare #2 - tiny type colored with a CMYK build

Registration Nightmare #3 - don't worry, trapping can help

Registration Nightmare #4 - tiny white type knocked out through several inks

Rich Black vs. Plain Black - on the computer screen, all blacks look the same; in print, they can look very different from each other

Overprinting Black - the easiest way to make type look great, every time

Resolution Requirements - how much is enough?  what's effective resolution? is it possible to have too much resolution? (-YES!)
