- 8:45 — SCREEN: QC checklist graphic
- “"Now the QC checklist — run this before ANY file leaves your computer. One: spelling — read every word twice. Two: alignment — use the Align docker, nothing 'almost' centered. Three: bleed — background past the trim edge. Four: color mode — CMYK for print, RGB for screen. Five: image links — no broken images. Six: fonts — keep an editable backup, convert a COPY to curves for print. Seven: resolution — 300 dpi at print size. Eight: export settings — right PDF preset, right folder."”
