Hi everyone,
I'm currently doing a 6 panel CD digipack for a record label and am having some setup problems. The artwork on all 6 panels (11"x17" flat) is very detailed vector line art from Illustrator. Lots of lines at 0.2pts. My first thought was to rasterize the 6panels and bring it into InDesign as a TIF, however in doing this at 1800dpi (requested by the printer) puts the file size at over 2GB. I'm thinking that this is way to huge for print. I've tried any combination of splitting up the panels into smaller file sizes, but am still averaging 300MB per panel. Is this fairly standard, or is it actually too detailed to print? Any suggestions on how to setup line art at a decent size for a professional print run would be much appreciated.....
