Converted to InDesign CMYK 2 color business card

Hello world

I'm new to this forum so go easy if this has been answered. I searched high and low for this answer without result.

I have developed a business card in InDesign CC 2015 with front and rear respectively. The file is located in its default colors because he had prior request. I sent the files to the client and then sent to the printer. The printer came back and asked that they be "2 files of color" because they are their printing in 2 colours. " Myself not having not knowledge in the actual printing process never had a questions, submit CMYK files to my previous customers.

How do I convert it to a format that works with their application? I need to PMS?

Thanks in advance!

Make sure you have everything spot on the page and export to PDF / X in this case be PDF/X-1 and PDF/X-4 would work.

You can configure a preflight rule that checks the colors other than the 2 you are using. So a fill which seems to be white, but done with 0% [Black] would be a violation.

  • InDesign CS6 10 - up business card? Where is the model?

    Already have the design... does anyone know where I can find the place 10 model, so I can put the card out there? Thank you...

    Also... need to design a new logo today or tomorrow... anyone have the right techniques for a super simple two letter logo?

    Adobe has no rele4ased all-new models since CS4. You can always find those for download via InDesignSecrets.com.

    The model you have is actually an Indesign 2.0 file that has been updated to CS5. It is worth noting special about her, or any other template file that you would use to make your OWN business card layout. In this case, you place your card 10 times in the model. If you want a back side, add a page to both your one - up and up - 10 files, build back on the one-up and the palce that ten times (or use step and repeat, as I'll explain in a moment) in the ten dans le dix-up page - up page.

    You have not told us anything about this tutorial, so I can't help with where this model comes maybe. but you can make your own, or do without one entirely, using the Step and repeat in the Edit menu. Place your image of the only card on the page more in the position of the upper left corner, and then click Edit > step and repeat...

    Check the box of the design grid, and then set the number of columns to 2 and 4 lines and check the preview box. The value shifts. Your current model looks like it uses an offset 2.1375 vertical and horizontal 4.25.

  • Indesign XML business cards help

    I'm designing for the company that I work a new business card, we have approximately 270 employees across about 5 different offices around the world.

    We collected data from employees using a web form. The fields are < first > < Center > < last > < title > < email > < direct > < office > < mobile > < linkedin > < twitter > and < location >

    I'm trying to conceptualize now how to set up the card to work right now (IE pull in data and look always good) (the design is already approved) but I never thought about how the XML will fill on the map.

    That's how the map is provided on some of the fields on the same line and he has justified to the left as shown here.

    < FIRST > < MIDDLE > < LAST >

    < TITLE >

    E-mail: < EMAIL >

    Live: < DIRECT > | Office: OFFICE <> | Mobile: < MOBILE >

    www.LinkedIn.com/in/< LINKEDIN >

    Twitter: < TWITTER >

    < LOCATION > | www.ABCCOMPANY.com

    So here are my questions:

    1. If I'm mapping XML to paragraph styles how fields will move properly for the first medium and the name based on the amount of characters each?
    2. on the phone number line, some people are not add in the office number, some offices have odd numbers with international prefixes etc indesign will sink the elements correctly or is there some text on text or gaps (if they do not fill a field)

    I am really amazed at the present time and in the hope of an ah-ha moment.

    Please repost in the InDesign forum.

  • Converting Images to CMYK for Print Publication

    When in my workflow should I be converting images to CMYK for print publication?

    Currently, I shoot FIRST pictures with my SLR in Adobe RGB, import images into Photoshop for manipulating and then convert the final image, the size to CMYK before placing it in my Indesign document. Before you go to print, I convert my PDF files using the [PDF / X - 1a: 2001] preset. I use a system that is balanced with a profile for my monitor.

    As many of my photos have shades of green, I am often disappointed by the conversion to CMYK because lose I the saturation and brightness. I'm doing something wrong? Is there a better way to preserve the quality of the color in my images when you go to a printer?

    Never. Leave it as RGB.

    All modern printers should happily accept RGB images. PDF/X-4 is the modern

    standard. X-1a can be described as archaic.

  • What is the ideal program of Adobe to create business cards?

    I wanted to have the opinion of all on what program use for business card design?

    I took a glance online and 3 products (Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop) Adobe all have discussion on the creation of cards in them. One of them is better? If so, why?

    InDesign has a lot more typographic controls and other features for working with type, but it is a page layout application, the first and the place. You can perform tasks simple illustration using the pen tool and forms, but ID lack of sophistication of the Illustrator for the tasks of the illustration, brushless, without fill patterns and any mixes, for example. ID, or HAVE everything can thus same edit the pixels in an image of Miss other that apply some effects and blend modes.

    Business cards are usually a very simple layout. As such, they do not tax abiliites from any tough program - you can even do a job fair in Microsoft Word, if you struggle a little bit. If the task will require heavy illustration, Illustrator may be the best choice on ID, since you probably don't have a lot of sophistication typographic as several columns or anchored objects. If you need to manipulate a photo for the background, Photoshop is the place to be, and you can define type there, too, with limited capabilities.

    On the other hand, if you plan to make the projects more and they will be more complex or need several pages, InDesign is by far the application of choice for most of us to do the layout. If you use art that already exists and just design the page, not to create the logo or color correct photography, you won't need Illustrator or Photoshop, but like Bob I highly recommend to get that parcel on in order to have all the tools you need as you'll be.

  • HP 6700 and CMYK printing colors

    Greetings

    I have a Dell laptop with Core i7, Windows 7. I designed a logo with the red and the black. The color of the design was derived from the RGB palette in paint. When it prints on my color inkjet HP 6700 the black color is fine, red, however, seems to have too much blue in there.  but because the printer's CMYK how can I fix it? I realize color is extremely complex, when you have a screen with its ability to color, RGB in a program and the printer CMYK. One of the websites that allows you to convert to CMYK RGB indicated 0 (255) green red and blue 0 equals 1 Magenta and 1 yellow with cyan 0. Is there a way to control the printer?

    Kind regards

    Dave

    Hi DaveABear,

    This isn't my area of expertise, but your question was very interesting for me.

    I did some research and found that Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and In Design all the presets for the conversion of RGB to CMYK, dealing with the differences in the range of colors offered by each offer.

    Click HERE for a link to the web site for more information and instructions on how to convert RGB to CMYK files.

    I hope this helps!

  • LaserJer Pro 200 M351nw: residues of toner to print business cards

    When I print on bond paper, I get a decent, crisp image. But when I print on card stock thre is a powdery residue on the paper. I can drag it with a handkerchief and get a significant amount of powder on the tissue.

    I remember reference to paper stock that is sutiable for color lasers, but I can't find it all in stock business cards anywhere I looked. It is apparently a special paper.

    I went through the type of paper in the printer properties. The only problem is when I print business cards. Is currently trying Avery 5876 and 8876 and Office Depot 3700-R. The 5867 and 3700-R are labeled for use in color lasers. The 8876 is inkjet. Same negative results with all.

    All proposals/solutions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi @1071 ,

    I see by your post only when printing on cards, you get powdery residue on the paper.
    I want to help you solve this problem.

    You have the Laserjet LaserJet Pro 200 M251nw?  How can I find my model number or product number?

    Usually, when there are residues, burrs, tasks of toner left on the pages is caused by the paper used or the type of paper selected in the printer driver. You already tried different types of paper and had the same results.

    The Avery 5876 you tried are Laser printers.

    It is recommended to use bright white paper or paper that is designed for use in Laser printers.
    Don't use paper that is designed only for use with ink jet printers.
    Progress of paper is porous and for printers inkjet that absorbs ink in the paper.
    Paper Premium isn't for Laserjet printers. Chemicals and the ink soaks into the paper and takes more time to dry.
    Use paper that is not too rough. Generally using smooth paper translates into a better print quality.

    I have provided the specifications of paper for this model.

    Specifications for HP LaserJet Pro 200 M251n and M251nw color printer.

    Up to 200 g/m2 (110 lb. index) cards

    I have a document with a few steps to try to see if this will solve the problem.

    Troubleshooting print quality problems.

    What is the weight of the cardboard?

    What parameter for the type of paper do you use?

    If you need help, let me know.

    Have a great day!
    Thank you.

  • When I print business cards, they print sometimes 1/4 too high, but not always.

    I have my business cards in a Word document by using a template Avery. I used the same file for years. I never had a problem with my Canon printer, but after buying an HP Photosmart D110, I got nothing else problems. When I print, then they print approximately 1/4 in. too high ruin cardstock and waste. This happens not all the time. Sometimes I print and they are perfect but when I come back and print another, the problem returns. It is the same strain of the map that I have used for years and when it is inserted in the printer it doesn't matter if it's a single page or a stack of them. I tried the page preview before printing and the alignment is correct. I tried to print to PDF and then print the PDF, same problem. I try on the barrel and no problem. Only reason why I bought it was in the first place the cartridges were cheaper and I do a lot of color printing and scanning.  I just replaced the cartridges and did a head alignment is not the problem. I tried it with plain paper and the problem persists. I'm ready to give up anything to join your room and buy another Canon!

    AuntieEm, thank you very much! It worked flawlessly! Hugs xoxoxo

  • Should which application I use to design business cards by Adobe?

    I'm currently designing the business card in photoshop CC but when I jum + my design so I know it is not perfact. It wouldn't be good for printing. But what application would be perfact.s.PNG

    Illustrator or InDesign are the best choices for business cards.

    Photoshop is for image editing, and although it can work with text, it is not the best choice for typographic control, nor the most intuitive to make layouts.

  • It is possilble to convert RGB to CMYK in PES 11?

    My external printer uses CMYK only and when they convert my RGB to CMYK image, color printed is different then the color that I see on my screen.  I searched the community for a similar question previously asked, but discussions gives me for PES 11.  Thank you.

    It is the same for all versions of PSE: No. Adobe is very strict on conservation that as one of the differences between PSE and Psalm you could ask your printing service if they do. They will generally, but at an extra cost. If you need to do this a lot you should consider the upgrade to CC.

  • Where is the best to type? PS or have on a business card

    I make a business card in Ps because I use a scan or jpeg (from old paper Brown) as my background. Is it better for me to do all my vector text in artificial intelligence, then copy in the Ps as a smart object?  Or should I use the text just to the Ps? What is the real difference, if either a sense, or what is either appropriate?

    If not, should I simply "place" the jpeg file of my (textured paper) background in artificial intelligence and make the whole map it and use text have? The background in a textured brown paper bag I have to the jpeg format. Don't know what is the best method or workflow - the experts who provide detailed steps?

    Business_card_background.jpg

    There are only two formats that save the vector data of Photoshop: EPS and PDF. Only Photoshop PDF retains all the layers and editablity of the original Photoshop document. Not all items that can be vectors will be stored as vectors. If you want to keep all of the data vector as vectors so that it generates itself, your best bet is to import the elements from Photoshop into Illustrator or InDesign as TIFF or PSD (not JPEG) and add vector data.

  • Templates for business cards, Avery?

    Anyone know where I could find Avery templates for use in Adobe software?  Especially for business card #5871.  Our company business cards were created previously using Microsoft Publisher (which I can't stand) and desperately, I would like to convert all about CS4 InD.  However, I am having one heck of a lining of time everything up and don't want to lose the sheets of business cards.  Have a model probably would make things much easier.  If anyone has any suggestions I would be very happy!

    Thanks in advance,

    Mel

    Would that help? I did not look too closely, but one of my clients has a library of Avery ID layouts and I think it may have been here that he got his. Best wishes.

    Welcome to the HP Forum.

    Try the following with your label template:

    Avery Wizard for Microsoft® Office

    If you don't have Word, you can use the software online and then print on your printer.

    If you like:

    Click on through the creation of a model, and you can create a template of "plain".

    Add what you want each / all business cards.  You can add tiny photos or Clip-Art to the corners to customize each card and / or add funds.  Add text in any format desired for each card.

    ============================================================================

    The template creates a standard Word .docx document - any type of file owner fantasy.

    Set your printing preferences for media > Brochure glossy or similar so that the printer waits the thick card stock.

  • I am trying to print business cards

    I just bought a HP Photosmart C4480 all-in-One. I tried to print business cards using the type of stock perforated (equivalent to Avery L7414).

    I can't match the top margin so that printing starts within the perforated area. If I use plain paper that it lines up properly. When I use the cardstock I get different higher margins even if I do not change the setting. It's like as if the map is slippery in the printer after it gets taken up by the rollers and prior to printing. Advice please on what to try a solution?

    Always looks like a mechanical problem, however changing software shouldn't solve the problem if this was true. In any case, I'm glad that you were able to find something that works. My last word of the Advisor; stick with what works.
