Pre-press design detours - a list of unprintable designs

I believe everyone is familiar with the word design. So-called designers in society are also common. In the area of ​​packaging design, the requirements of designers are more stringent. First, designers must understand the printing knowledge. Why should designers often emphasize that they have the best printing knowledge? Because printing is the process of materializing design ideas and knowing that printing can avoid unnecessary errors, it is absolutely better than after the design is completed, it is much better to find that the original design cannot be printed at all. What is a design that cannot be printed? The following is an excerpt from the Dean Professor Frank Romano of Rochester Institute of Technolgy School of Printing (How to Design Something You Can not Print). It does not apply to packaging design. Please observe and see:

Rely on the monitor of the computer to choose the color;

Use light colors to reverse white;

Prefer font sizes of 8point or less;

Use more than ten fonts in the same layout;

Forget to reserve the bleeding position;

Forgot to link the picture information to the publication file;

Output with RGB picture mode;

The format of the picture is WMF or GIF instead of TIFF or EPS;

Directly use the pictures downloaded from the Internet for print output;

Think that the color of the proofs will be the same as what you see on the display or the sample printed by the inkjet.
