1. Spot vs. 4-color Processing
2. Select a Good Printing Company.
3. Select Your Pantones
4. Prepare the File
5. Comb the Proof

shit! - i have been going wrong.

Well that depends! Is your monitor colour correct? and is it one of these very expensive studio monitors? Chances are your gonna answer no to both! In which case yes they probably will look shit.

When your ready for press speak to your printers and run over the colours with them, they will have a swatch book for you to look at.

what is print?

print.Action · 14-08-2007, 09:42

Just set your illustrator swatch set to the pantone proccess coated book and you can be sure they will turn out fine. No matter what your monitor color profile, you won't be too surprised at the difference between monitor and print because the book gamut is relative to itself.
