5 Steps to Creating a Perfect Color Target

One of the biggest challenges that designers face is taking their beautiful designs and turning them into a printable target. We use so many special effects in Adobe Illustrator that it’s sometimes difficult to translate into separations. The most successful projects follow a formula for success.

1. Align the team – Many designers are accustomed to viewing their designs on screen or via four-color prints from various output devices. Bringing the entire project team (client, design, client services, and production) together to review and approve print colors, prior to release, ensures that everyone is aligned to the look being created.
