The outline

What we'll cover.

4 parts, one morning, hands on.

You leave with

A preflight checklist and a print-ready file of your own.

  1. Part 1

    Bleed, trim and safe zones

    Why the edge moves, and how to set a file up so it doesn't matter.

  2. Part 2

    Colour that survives paper

    CMYK, spot colours and why screens flatter.

  3. Part 3

    Fonts, images and resolution

    The checks that stop blurry photos and missing fonts.

  4. Part 4

    Export and proof

    Exporting a print PDF and reading a proof before you approve it.
