To ensure optimal print readiness, follow these recommendations for saving your files. Make sure to outline your text and embed any linked images before proceeding with the following steps:
Begin by turning off the visibility of all layers except the template layer, which should remain active at all times. This ensures that the template serves as a consistent reference throughout the process.
Activate the spot UV layer and leave it visible. Save your file as a print high quality PDF, taking care to label the file name with the corresponding layer name at the end. This step captures the design with the spot UV effect intact.
Return to your file and disable the visibility of the spot UV layer. Then, enable the visibility of the next layer in the sequence. Save the file once again, appending the layer name to the file name to maintain clarity and organization.
Repeat the process for each subsequent layer, ensuring that only one layer is visible at a time. By systematically saving each layer individually with its corresponding name in the file name, you establish a comprehensive and structured file management system.
Following these steps and adhering to proper file naming conventions, you can confidently save your design for print, maintaining the necessary outlines and embedded images, while efficiently managing the visibility of each layer.
