Urgently in need of some help/advice or, if you've got the time, for someone to cast their eye over a print project for me if it's at all possible.

 

For those that don't know, I'm coming to the end of what's been a very long road in getting my first album written, performed, mixed, mastered and now printed and pressed...and it's at this final hurdle I've hit a snag. I thought my artwork submissions were to spec but I've just found out there's an issue with the design for the 4 Colour Lithographic On-Body Print for the CD itself: the black I've used has come out virtually grey in the proofs and the printing house has strongly suggested I use Pantone colours (it's essentially a large, plain white, letter "A" on a black background which I asked to be printed on a white disc rather than silver)......and I genuinely haven't got a clue how to go about doing this in Photoshop (CS3)! :(

 

I've done everything myself from start to finish and literally spent every penny I have getting the album together and I couldn't afford for their design team to take it on but, even so, I think I've put together something pretty good...but it's this Pantone issue that's got me stumped. TBH, I'm really worried that I'm going to fVck it up and be charged another re-submission fee (didn't realise I'd be charged to resubmit as they've essentially only looked at it so that came as a bit of a nasty shock tonight :( ) and it's made me worry that the rest is ok (feeling pretty sh1te and down tonight about it all and the mounting cost but that's not for now)

 

If there's anyone that can help me out and/or take a look at the artwork to check it's ok I would be seriously grateful (and of course would be more than happy to sort that person out with a copy of the finished product if they so wish...)

 

Cheers,

 

Leigh.

My oldest boy does this for a living. I'll ask him to take a look when he gets in tonight

Really appreciate that offer chap, thank you! Luckily though, Jak the Ruby, a long standing member of the Z Club and the "other" forum, who's a printer with 14 years experience under his belt, has well and truly stepped into the breach and saved the day. He's taking a look at the files and it now looks like the album release is getting back on track! :D

Glad to hear it :hyper:
