Then run a preflight and 'package' the whole project, burn it and the pdf file you produce onto a DVD and deliver that. Inside of InDesign you will want to make sure your transparency space is set to CMYK as well.

Techs at a good shop will take your PDF and insert it into another program for output, so registration and trim marks shouldn't be necessary unless they specify them. Give your project 1/8' bleed on all sides as most printers you will encounter have about 1/16' creep which can screw you up on double sided printing. Dont mess with a single setting, that means NO downsampling, and NO compression or any color changes. Output from Indesign should be done as a 'Vanilla' output. They can bump the black ink levels in the printing but it will show in the final product as 'glossy' areas on the page which looks strange to me. On the subject of blacks, CMYK will naturally be more muted than RGB, so unless you are doing offset printing (which you wont be) your blacks will not be as sharp as on a home injet. Always convert your images for professional printshop output to CMYK in Photoshop. Then save the document normaly and try another export as pdf.Д¬olour wise, you may be setting your PPD setting for a RGB printer at home, if you have a CMYK printer at home, switch settings, if you dont find a generic print set up for a Postcript/CMYK printer etc.Дoing the preflight will also show if you have any images that RGB instead of CMYK, and you can open and save them as CMYK and relink.ДЄny printing really should be done in CMYK set ups, and RGB for the web.Дo not rely on an in-rip color conversion. Make sure all fonts status are ok, and look for font to load into indesign if not.

Should fix immediate problems of black boxes etc and some font issues.Дo a preflight, check the summary area for fonts. Make sure compress text and line art is ticked.

On the side bar : general,compression,marks and bleeds etc choose compression.

if i send to a pro printer i choose prepress. Preset>print (notsure about Lulu, but if printing at home for good stuff i use this. Sometimes this little tick a box causes lots of problems especially with a combination of eps and fonts.
