You really helped me understand this even further. Thank you so much.

I agree Monika, I'm going to head over to my local print shop and see what we can arrange. I'm sure once they see my illustrator file they might be able to pinpoint my black richness issue. I really appreciate all of your help! Thanks again.

OK thank you for clarification, that makes sense now. In that case, how does one use an accurate black that is the blackest of blacks? All I want to do is have this thing print like a rich black.

So again, the first image is without overprint preview selected, and the second image is with overprint preview selected. I see a noticeable difference. I selected the artwork and went to the Attributes panel, and overprint fill and overprint stroke are unchecked. Such a small issue and we can't find a solution!

Yes I think I have a lot of research to do.

It's weird because when I create the PDF it definitely looks like the 100k black, even though my preferences have everything set to Rich Black

I'm not sure how to find out the type of black I'm using, any tips?

I think we're on to something! I clicked on the black, went to View>Overprint Preview, and it showed me the "washed" out look I don't like. How do we prohibit Overprint, if possible? I just read something about 'knockout' vs 'overprinting' which sounds like it would solve my problem. Pardon my questions, I'm a bit new to Illustrator. Thanks

Here's another example of in-house Illustrator VS the PDF I saved of it:

A soft proof...just when I open the PDF file on my screen.

I created a new document, 11x17, CMYK color, so the document is in CMYK. My monitor is fine as far as calibration. I originally uploaded the .ai file, but it was washed out so I tried a .pdf and .eps, and still the same thing. Even if I open up the saved .pdf on my computer, it looks washed out (please see attached photos). File>Save as>Save as type dropdown (PDF)>Save>Adobe PDF Preset dropdown (High Quality Print) Going a bit whacky here, any other thoughts?!

So I'm trying to get some prints of a file I've been working on. I saved the file as an .ai, .eps, and .pdf and uploaded it to VistaPrint. For some reasons, everything seems a bit less saturated/washed out. Any ideas? Thanks!

It's 100% practice. I'm testing out different images and notice that some don't trace as well as others, just trying to see why

Hello, I'm having a hard time tracing/converting a certain raster file into vector in Illustrator: Original: Traced: I've tried messing around with tracing options but can't really get the result I want...details of the teeth, eyes, etc. Any tips for tracing this specific image, or images in general? Should I tweak anything on the raster beforehand like contrast, saturation, etc.? Any suggestions on custom tracing settings? Many thanks.

Worked quite well, thank you very much! My only qualm is that the picture had an extremely minor "fattening" up effect after I traced, losing some details in the areas with a lot of commotion. Only slightly noticeable and definitely better to work with now. Thanks again

Hello, I have a black and white vector image, but I need to remove the white background and only keep the black part. Here is a small screenshot from a piece of the image: I have tried ungrouping everything and individually selecting the white pieces to delete, but it seems like I've processed/converted the image type too much and there are constant hidden layers, blobs, etc. behind each piece. Any way to just select all of the white areas when it's grouped as one and delete them? Thanks in advance
