Multiple instances are not necessary, most printers will accept a high resolution PDF and gang up the images themselves to save paper.

It’s best to setup print jobs in Indesign or Quark as they handle typography much better.

Nice tutorial none the less

I think the biggest point that was missed here was. Never ever send an Illustrator file to your print service. PDF it. Most of graphics today work with pdfs instead of the old EPS. You can even ask some graphics to send their PDF profiles so it fit better into their specs.

And yeah, thats a lot of waste of paper ><

@Ian:

My comments were by no means meant to put your work down at all, and this tip is useful in some circumstances, just not the ideal way to go about creating something for print.

This is very useful because it is likely that someone that specializes mostly in web based work will probably not have access to indesign because its in a different suite by Adobe. If they need to do some print work then this is a great option, for business cards and stuff.

I have always said that Envato should create a “printtuts” or “layouttuts” or “designtuts” for print based applications and workflow, that could cover InDesign, Quark and how they relate to Photoshop and Illustrator

Thanks for the good work!
