Print Finishes

Q: How do you set up print ready files for the print finishes?
1. Open your artwork in InDesign or Illustrator (please ensure a 2mm bleed)
2. Create a new layer (artboard) for the finish separation
3. Select the elements you wish to enhance and duplicate this layer to a new
artboard
4. Create a new colour swatch and name it “Scodix”, “Metal Silver”, “Metal
Gold” or “Spot UV”
5. Select colour type “Spot Colour”, and convert all finishing elements to this
spot colour. Ensure fill and opacity are set to 100%
6. Go into the Separation Preview palette (Window / Separation Preview). Tick
Overprint Preview and view only the Scodix colour to ensure your spot colour
has been applied
7. Save as ‘Press Ready’ PDF. The final press ready artwork should be set up as
a PDF. Use ‘High Quality Print’ setting and ensure to include trims and bleed.
Multiple kinds/names will need to be saved as one PDF per kind/name
