Bonjour,

Je souhaite placer un QR Code déjà crée d'un client dans une maquette Indesign pour impression. A t'il besoin d'un lien ? d'information (adresse web ? ou autre information...) ou ce place t'il comme une simple image. 

PS : mon client me l'a livré en .png (transparent).... me faut-il l'enregistrer sous un autre format ?

Merci de la réponse.

I.K.

Place the QR code at 100% as per supplied by the customer. 

Check the resolution of the image in the Window>Info Panel and check that it's not too low, technically it should be hi-res image. 

 

Make a PDF of high quality - and try to scan the QR code (there's apps for smart phones)

IF it scans ok - send the PDF to your client and ask them to confirm they are happy with it.

 

If the client is not happy with it - then you can ask them to send the details to you for the QR code.

InDesign has a built in QR code generator. 

If that doesn't suffice there are a myriad of QR code generators on the internet that will generate a vector version.

 

On the QR code - it will depend on the density (how much info is stored) - so you may need to increase the size to get a good reading.


When I create vector versions

I often have a blank page starting at certain sizes - then increase the size by 1mm -

Giving me 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 mm sizes - etc.

 

The most important thing is to ensure it scans well on multiple devices. 

Ultimately your client should sign off on it.

 

The PNG may not work well - but saving to a different format would not do any good.

As-tu testé le QR code fourni ? Si le fait de le présenter devant un lecteur de QR code ouvre la page web, ou envoie in mail ou affiche les informations, tout est bon et tu peux l'importer comme ceci. Ensuite, comme il a été dit dans les précédentes réponses, il faut vérifier la résolution de l'image. En ce qui me concerne, j'aurais tendance à regénérer un QR code directement à partir d'InDesign, en utilisant l'URL fournie.

QR codes are just graphics. They need nothing other than placement, scaling and printing or exporting that will preserve their sharp edges and contrast.

 

The only real mistake is to manage them so that they blur and lose resolution, which is often coupled with printing them too small, so that the grid is that much harder for devices to read. A rule of thumb for quality offset printing is that the grid should be no smaller than 1mm, and larger is better.
