Default Re: Help! Disagreement w/ my designer

Your designer may have an issue with color-separation. If he sends you the files in tiff format, the images will be flattened. If you have a design that has multiple colors, that means you have to re-separate the colors into their own layers, including the trap for line-up.

pdf's, on the other hand, can be sent and recieved in layers, so that all you have to do is print each layer individually. If you are interested in having a file that is easy to work from, and a file that is a high-quality universally readable file, I would request both pdf's and tiffs from your designer; show the customer the tiffs and work from the pdf's.
