		<description>KC, mukhang tinatamad lang yung pre-press person na hindi na i-tinker yung files. It can easily be edited with Acrobat Distiller. 

However, if the file was dark to begin with, you really have to go back to Photoshop and fix it. Na-notice ko lang na kulang sa sharpening ang mga files ng galing diyan sa atin, at saka hindi nilalagyan ng S-Curve na siyang nagbibigay ng punch sa file.</description>

		<description>jm,
nangyayari ang madilim na printing sa maraming dahilan at isa na rito ang mga binanggit mo. ang iba pa, na i&#039;m sure ay alam mo rin at baka hindi mo lang na-anticipate na nangyayari dito sa atin:
a. kapag ang printing ay ibang company ang gumagawa at naka-save na sa pdf ang file na ipi-print. usually, ang color separation ng pdf ay madilim, at sa ganitong format ay hindi na maia-adjust ng machine operator;
b. kung hindi naman naka-pdf at puwede pa ring galawin ng machine operator ang file, posibleng magkaiba ang calibration ng monitor ng 2 machines na ginamit (art director vs. colorsep). malaking problema rin ito kapag PC ang isa at mac ang isang machine dahil magkalayo talaga ng quality.
c. considering na in-synch ang 2 machines, art director &amp; colorsep, sa printing na mismo may problema... lalo na kapag running na at hindi nagbantay ang art director para mai-adjust ng litographic ang kulay.
d. in some instances, ang quality ng ink at papel ay factors;
e. bihira naman ito pero may mga artist/art director na gusto ay madilim ang layout nila

sa malalaking publishing dito sa pilipinas gaya ng summit media, may sarili silang printing department kaya ensure ang quality.</description>

		<description>Kaya pala yung LASTIKMAN komiks na ipinadala sa akin ni Robby V ay napakadilim. Parang nakikipag-table ako sa isang GRO sa loob ng BEER HOUSE :) 

Could it be that the PH of the paper changed during the actual printing? Masyado kasi ang humidity diyan sa atin, di ba? Lalo na kung summer, maliligo ka talaga ng at least 5 times daily because of the heat. Kasi  kapag pinawisan ka sa labas, dumidkit ang shirt mo sa iyong skin. That feeling is so awful.</description>

		<description>Sir JoeMari...

Yup, dapat naka-overprint yung K (or Black ink). So Gerry has to submit the files separately... the lettering in a vector program (Illustrator, Freehand, Quark or whatever else) and the main image in Photoshop. Kasi if the whole image including letters will be submitted in Photoshop, doon na magkakaproblema sa printing.

But then, dito kasi sa Pilipinas more often than not dumidilim ang printing (di ko alam kung bakit). Kaya baka nga kahit naka-overprint young black, baka malunod pa din kapag sobrang dilim nung background.</description>

		<description>Reno:

Misregistration happens if the text is done in CMYK.

That&#039;s a no-no in pre-press. the black text, specially in komiks, must be simply K. 

Also, I&#039;ve seen some Philippine printed magazine here and when they use a large black background, they don&#039;t put a 40% Cyan booster, thus making it so flat. Another no-no in pre-press.

That&#039;s why if the text is plain K and placed separately from the art, you&#039;ll have two independent elements and both will come out honky-dory. K ALWAYS overprints, no matter what. That&#039;s how it is advantegeous in komiks.</description>

		<description>Hello Reno! I&#039;ll keep what you said in mind, about the white drop shadow... I&#039;ll check the results when it comes out and I&#039;ll see if I will do it again or not.

He.he. Salamat! Naisip ko lang kasi... may mga tao doon na sigurado akong makakakita nung BUZZ at iniimagine ko silang umaakyat ng LRT para tingnan at sasabihin nila... teka, di naman ganun ang itsura a!</description>

		<description>Delikado lang yung letters kung mag-mis-register ang color separation ng publication. Kahit sa mga glossies nangyayari ito. And from my experience in Advertising, di effective ang drop shadow o glow na puti. Mas safe kung puputian mo na lang yung text.

Masasabi ko lang... talagng dedicated ka sa craft mo, Gerry. Kung ako yan, ginamit ko na yug lumang panel, wala namang makakahalata kundi mga nakatira doon. Pero binago mo pa rin! :)</description>

		<description>Kaya nga mas mabuti talaga kung sa Illustrator ilagay ang text at balloons para mapadali ang trabaho. It&#039;s a lot easier to edit your text and balloons in Illustrator. What&#039;s more, you can leave your photoshop file (the drawings and colors) alone, and you can determine the inensity of the text and the balloon independently. Maganda nga ang glossy stock ng The Buzz kaya ang chances na magbago ang kulay sa actual printing ay hindi na gaanong malaki, unlike in newsprint, talagang sakit ng ulo ang volatility ng kulay, especially  Cyan and Red.</description>
