where you converted black to rich black would that also do a thin black rule. For instance if I had a square with a 1pt black border would that also have been converted since it's a vector object? Thanks for the vids!
You can further customize the preflight to ignore borders. In the "Edit Check" area you can add a check for a "Is Line" item. That way the preflight will only fire on objects that are a vector, but do you not a have a stroke.
It depends on what machine you are printing with. If you are using a wide format UV/Latex/Eco-sol inkjet machine, I would recommend a rich black mix. Inkjet will absorb into the sheet, and a rich black will help keep your black color nice and dense. If you're printing on a toner based printer, I would recommend using a pure black. If the black is not dense enough, most digital toner based printers have an adjustment press side to make the black denser. Of course if you're talking about text, I would always use a pure black for text, no matter what type of printer. If you use rich black for text you may have registration issues. Hope that helps.

Hi Robert. Yes, it should. Anything that would be considered a vector object will be converted, so a square, including it's border would be changed.

What is the best practice of using black for digital press? Is it rich black?
