PACOM Prepress Policy
Pacom Prepress Policy

Pacom has established a set of guidelines to help you in editing a print project.
Please check these instructions, as well as the InDesign user instructions, as you proceed with your project.

Things to Consider when Editing

Do not use lines thinner than 0.5 pt, as thinner lines will not appear when put in print.
We recommend using two colors at most for lines. (3- or 4-color lines can have alterations in color)
Lines, fonts and objects using white should not be overprinted.
편집시 유의사항
For twin-ring binding products, edits should be done on single pages, not spread pages.
Please send any fonts used in editing so that they can be used when printing.
If using spot color in Quark or InDesign, please use primary colors for all other colors.
When editing in Quark or InDesign, please leave at least 3mm in margins.
Please do not use fonts which have a city (Seoul, Chicago, New York, etc.) in their title.
All image files should be done via Adobe RGB (for RGB), or Coated FOGRA39 or Coated GRACoL2006 (for CMYK).
sRGB is not compatible with international print color standards, and thus is not suited for use in print sources. AdobeRGB is the international standard for print RGB sources.
편집시 유의사항
Image files have a base of 300dpi.
Please save image files with a Profile Tag.
If converting to PDF, when saving file as PDF X/1a or PDF X/3, designate output intent as either Fogra39 or GRACoL2006.
Page size will become Trim Box after PDF conversion, and will be the final book size.
We recommend saving image files (both RGB and CMYK) in the Tiff format (using LZW compression) to enhance print quality.
(JPEG compression can alter the image and is not recommended)
he total CMYK should not surpass 350%. Going over 350% increases the ink levels to a point where print quality may suffer,
and the end product may encounter problems in later production stages (cutting, binding).

InDesign Configuration (when using coated white paper)

After calibrating the workspace with Adobe RGB and GRACoL2006, the colors will be shown on screen to this standard.
When loading an image, if there is no tagged profile or a color other than the Adobe RGB or GRACoL2006 is tagged, a warning popup will appear.

When a color other than an AdobeRGB or GRACoL2006 profile is tagged
Select either “change to color space” or “keep profile”.
If no profile is tagged
Consult with the photographer or image creator to identify the profile used when creating the image, and apply it.
