sending design to printer

[Phill Fenton]

Why don’t you open the pdf you sent in your own design software (e.g flexi) to find out?

[Jill Marie Welsh]

When I send my designs to the guy I use, I do a pdf sized to regular paper size, but I add the dimensions the thing needs to be printed at just beside the design.
I have never had a problem with my guy.
He sizes to my specs.
His colors are spot on too, all I have to do is say what Oracal color it is on my chart and he matches it.
Too bad he doesn’t sub out in your area.
But if he can do all this from a pdf why can’t your guy?
Love…..Jill

Sounds like you need to find another print company who can deal with such a simple task..

Same here. I have plenty of friends that don’t do much pre-press other than a proof copy with color specs and sizes dimensioned. They do like Jill and just send it out. The printer usually will clean up for press. I guess some places might charge more for pre-press preparation.
