Hi. I received a pdf from a client, this is a frame to be used as background on posters. The file is yellow and has some graphic elements. I placed the file, designed the rest of the poster and sent it off to the printer. The poster came out with a horrible green colorcast on the background frame. Any ideas on how to get the pdf to keep its bright yellow?
The client made two smaller posters with the same frame and text in word and sent these files to the same printer, and these two poster came back with the correct bright yellow color. The client is not happy:(
I would check to see if the CMYK values are correct in the PDF. Just because something looks a certain way on screen doesn’t mean that it will look that way in print. For example, if the client made a PDF in word based on RGB colors, then the printer may have converted that to CMYK using one method that kept it yellowing. However, if you converted it to CMYK in InDesign (when you made your PDF, for example), then that same RGB could have changed to a different CMYK (perhaps with more cyan, making it greenish).
