I work with ads, a lot of ads. Every month I handle about 800 ads, both ones I have produced and others sent by clients. I run each and everyone through Pitstop, just to be sure. This is not a problem with the ads I have made, but clients ads usually come up with lots of error or warning based on our settings. Most of them are easily resolvable and a breeze.
The problem isn’t really a frequent one, but lately we’ve had some advertisers getting very disappointed and angry due to white text or artwork (vector based) not showing up in print. I doesn’t happen a lot, but a lot of money is involved and I’m on the last line before printing, and I need a way to discover these before it’s too late.
I’ve googled for how to set up Pitstop to warn me about these things, but couldn’t find it, thats why I’m asking here!
How can I set up Pitstop to warn me about White text or artwork got overprinting. Is there a setting to make Pitstop remove overprinting on white text or artwork? Is there a risk in setting up something like that? Will normal non-overprinted white text be affected.
Attaching a screenshot of the issue.
How do I automate this? Without affecting the hundreds of ads that come out correctly. I need to manually run every ad through Pitstop and check them in 2-3 days, it’s very long hours and a automated procedure would save me some time, because checking each one sent by clients for overprinted whites will take too long. Overprinted black is already set up, but I can’t find the same for white.
I’m running PitStop Pro 11 update 2.
Thank you for your replies, and sorry for my English, it’s a second language.
Best regards
Andreas
