File Problems
Some document details can cause file problems. You can prevent printing problems caused by these file problems, by preflighting with FlightCheck:

• color: Convert from RGB colors to CMYK before printing, to match print job specifications.
• fonts: Corrupt or non-embedded fonts could cause several printing problems.
• image resolution: In general, high resolution is preferable. (Images may look different onscreen than in print.)
• non-embedded fonts: To avoid font substitution, be sure your fonts are embedded within your file.
