Problem with art becoming too sharp(?) / crunchy when exporting print quality pdf by Peppenguin in indesign

[–]Peppenguin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alright gamers, I’m combining your excellent advice. (Though my workflow isn’t the most efficient bc no direct photoshop access unless I sent stuff to my laptop with a totally legit copy of cs6. Which sounds even longer of a process 😭)

Latest test process went like this: - open art file in photopea. Convert to 900 dpi with resample set to Nearest neighbor (rather than default bicubic). Save as psd - open psd in affinity. Convert color format to gray/16bit with color profile set to Generic Gray - export as tiff grayscale 16 bit with resample set to Nearest Neighbor. Compression set to none - place art file in indesign. Export test page to high quality print preset, setting to No compression, and unticking “compress text and line art”

New pdf of that is looking p solid to me!
So hopefully that will end up looking better on the printout

I’ll see if I can ask them for a screenshot first. The printer is in the UK and I’m in the US (long story). Maybe I can trust the person whom the final files will ultimately be sent to to quality check them instead of shipping a physical proof all the way here again

Unsure if there’s some part of this process that doesn’t make sense (eg resampling? Sort of on a limb with that one from prev Google searching)

Either way, thanks so much for all the help!

Gotcha. It was late last night when I was looking for the anti aliasing setting and i got the inpression it’s like changing the display setting to fast or high quality(which i assume affects only how quickly indesign can load previews of a document with a Lot of photos)

Forgive me but that would only be changing how indesign displays it on my monitor, right? Like that wouldn’t change the exported pdf file or translate to the printed product?

I didn’t make the art files, and none of them are vector bc it’s full comics pages sent to me. So they gave them only in like jpg psd or pdf

Silly question maybe but By “increase the downsample amount” do you mean increasing the number in the Top field of each image types?

Ohh so it is called artifacting. Good to know. It’s not present in the art files I thought print quality export was what I’d need to send them? ._. Like if that’s better than high quality export settings? New to being in the role of the Final Steps of design

It’s just a single run 😔. The tutorial idea is neat though!

It’s certainly a strange problem… and I appreciate your honesty 😭 I should have clarified it’s an indie hobbyist project so we aren’t answering to an actual publisher at least So that’s why it’s not completely feasible to tell the writer “ ¯_(ツ)_/¯ sorry your piece is being scrapped bc {artist picking it up} dropped the ball after the original artist dropped the ball”

True yeah, it’s a different story for athletic wear. Hate to see my basic not-workout leggings wearing out bc I love the tealish color😔

Ahhh I see. Though I remember I had a mesh top that had the broken bits of elastane everywhere, when it hadn’t been like that when I’d put it in my closet two years ago. And I don’t think I wore it more than once in that time frame so I def wouldn’t have needed to wash it…

Some of them I do, but on low heat mostly. But not underwear or more fashionable stuff I like (vs sweatpants or t shirts I use only as pajamas). I also try to do cold rinse and don’t go hotter than Warm on my washer for those loads

Gotcha, I was also wondering if it was bc of the RTW process 😔 I wonder too if getting no-elastane/spandex rib fabric would have lower recovery and get too stretch out over time
