Things to remember when designing your spread
NO OVERLAPPING COLORS: (unless organic, doesn't need to be perfect) Remember that we will not be able to register, the presses at the Center are not made for perfect registration, the offset can end up more than 1/8".
NO LARGE SOLID AREAS: large solid area will not print solid, you can work with lines or halftones to get the same shape, better ink coverage.
NO THIN, FLOATING LINES: I've gotten 0.25 to work, as long as it is not isolated (separate from each other imagery on the same plate/color) they should be at most about .05" from each other.
NO BAD TYPOGRAPHY: PLEASE remember your typography from Type 1, don't stretch, squish, torture, outline, use Motel type, etc.
DESIGN SPREAD SIZE: 3.75 x 8 [use template!]
PROPER SET-UP: 100% K, EACH COLOR ON DIFFERENT LAYER
