Re: Camera Ready for Printing

Hallo:

Your post does not contain enough information. While I have used Word as a
publishing tool before, I recommend against it based on the amount of
trouble and lack of pre-press options in the software.

You say you are making camera-readies but do not say what you are using to
do so. Have you ever considered creating a PS printfile, instead.

There are way too many variables to troubleshoot this issue, but Photoshop
is a recognized standard for creating and publishing bitmapped images; you
should be good to go with Photoshop.

I recommend you do the following: contact several service bureaus and see
what they would like you to provide so they can process your print job. You
might need to modify your process to get the job done well.

Good luck.
