PreflightHistory Lesson–The term preflight check

originates from the aviation industry where it is a standard procedure for pilots to go over a checklist before lift-off.

Before we print (prepress) its our quality checklist of digital files, image types, fonts, or errors.

PackageWhen you package a file, you create a folder

that contains the InDesign document (or documents in a book file), any necessary fonts, linked graphics, text files, and a customized report.

We will package for our final mock-up.
