InDesign's Publishing Tools |

There are many different things that one must learn when getting into the publishing industry.
Misregistration is when gaps or misaligned publication elements occur during printing. Misregistration occurs when knock out printing is the method used. Knock out printing basically means that you print all publication elements without overlap of any of the elements contained in the publication. Misregistration can be avoided through the practice of overprinting which is also called spot color use. This overprinting method solves possible publication mistakes by overlapping elements that are defined as spot colors with background elements. So in other words over printing prints what's behind first and then prints spot colors found on top of background elements so gaps do not occur.
InDesign utilizes the knock out approach by default for all graphics
and all fonts larger than 24 points. Black fonts smaller than 24 points
are over printed in InDesign. If you want to override these default
behaviors in InDesign all you have to do is select element/fill and
stroke from the menu bar and then make sure the overprinting check box
is selected. The previous method can be used to overprint anything that
has a stroke, a fill or both. You can also make everything overprint
that has a particular color by using the color options panel to apply
an overprint characteristic to any color and therefore any object that
is of that color. Lastly overprint behavior can be adjusted through the
file/preferences/trapping menu selection.
Inline graphics are basically graphic elements that occur within a line
of text. These inline graphics can be a useful way to spice up any
publication's copy. To use this feature of InDesign all you have to do
is select the place within an area of text that you want an inline
graphic to be placed and then use the file/place command like you would
for any other external publication object. Once you have activated the
above command InDesign will automatically select the inline graphic
option from the resulting place dialog so all you have to do is select
your inline graphic and you're done.
The links manager is another very useful and complex tool available to
the user of InDesign. This program option does what its name implies;
it manages all the links to external files that are used in a
publication. In other words much like a website’s code, the links
manager defines the what and the where nature of various elements in a
document you create. The links manager is also an excellent tool,that
you can use to understand what types of files make up your publication.
How the links manager tells you what types of files your using is
through symbols that are attached to various elements in a publication.
These symbols tell a user what kind of file a particular element is,
where the element is located in a publication, the status of the
elements link with the publication and many more. The link manager can
also be used to repair any broken links that a publication may have.
The save for service provider tool in InDesign is found under the
plug-ins menu item and is one of InDesign’s most invaluable resources.
The save for service provider plug-in is used to package a copy of your
publication for your printer. This plug-in has many necessary abilities
like the ability to gather all fonts and all linked elements of a
publication together in a folder to be brought to your printer. One of
the most useful features of this plug-in is its capability of setting
up a publication’s separations.
Color management is one of the most important concepts a designer must
understand. Color management is basically a set of device specific
profiles that define the color production capabilities and settings of
any given color-producing device to one another. The reason this is
very important is because in the world of desktop publishing what you
see on your computer screen will only look like it does printed out if
you use color management. InDesign and all other professional Adobe
products allow you to set up color profiles as well as export them so
that your printer can use them to print your publication exactly the
way that it should be printed.
