Our 3rd meeting of 2009 is coming up, and it promises to be a fun and knowledge-filled evening.
Please join us on Sept 22nd as we welcome back Adobe's Sebastian Distefano. Who will again treat us to his vast InDesign knowledge. And also Jeff Kew, Vancouver Chapter Rep, who also knows a thing or two about InDesign.
The evening topic will be "Prepress-Best Habits". Between Sebastian and Jeff you will learn about the tools available in InDesign to ensure your files are preflighted properly, along with a number of tips and tricks to getting your Illustrator and Photoshop files processed thru InDesign.
Jeff will also be discussing a number of 3rd party tools/plug-ins to optimize your prepress workflow including processing your layout files and links, and packaging and outputting your final files.
