All you newbies drawing their first comic and haven't printed their comic before: 300 dpi, CMYK colours, bleed and safety, 0 0 0 100 K black text on a separate layer. Make sure you have all of these on all of your comics files, otherwise you'll end up like me having to fix 660 pages of my webcomic

The idea of giving up working with pretty bright colors hurts my heart.
I was thinking of trying my comic again in the near future. This will be helpful.
Saving this for later, thanks for the advice!
For any print project, always check with your printer first to avoid errors. Theyβll tell you how to prep your file/graphics and what type of file setup to submit to press. They may also provide ICC profiles and printer job options, which eliminates most of the guesswork.
I've been doing prepress a long time. We want your job to come out awesome! And we'd rather not have to fix it ourselves π
Can drastically sharpen and enrich line art.
You can highlight the word and then tap "look up," to every word you don't quite understand.
In other words: I was just kidding.
"it looked great on screen though!" is always yelled when the proofs come back. π
There are several things that go into making sure color translates in printing the way you think it will. First of all make sure your color mode is CMYK. Make sure your resolution is 300 DPI.
800dpi.

I want to save as many headaches as possible when I create my comics π«‘
It gave me stress/panic flashbacks
from when I was contracted to fix
a few expensive kim kardashian

2011 for her foreign markets in the

Production design was never my
strong suit, graphic design was. Sigh....
Software doesn't last through the years and requires continuous upgrades.

anyway, a heartfelt thank you for a perfectly timed ProTip.
I always change CMYK black to this in gradients. Helps on large format at leastβ¦..
Omg I'm so glad I found you over here!!
I wanna add it's 300 dpi AT LEAST. Depending on your desired format (say Din4) I'd recommend a higher dpi just to keep the print product crisp. DONT go higher than 600 tho, unless you want files the size of newfoundland.
In this respect it's like HD tvs.
60in 1080p and a 120in 4k visually and physically are the same dpi.
If you want it to be, you need to set 20~30C 100K as your black
