Week 12 - file preparation

I think a useful area (which I would like to learn more about) would revolve around the use of the many different pantone swatches available to designers in programs like illustrator and indesign, the reasons for choosing each different type(matte, solid, coated, uncoated etc) how they print differently and when they are appropriate to specify to a printer. Perhaps also a review on colour profiles and which is the most appropriate to export your pdf too.
