I worked out an artwork for a product gift box using Scribus. I sent the output PDF file to a factory to print it. First time number of copy was 15,000. Today I saw the final box and was a little disappointed by that factory. The vector lines, fonts, expecially small fonts on the box are not smooth on the edge. Now I suspect that they imported the PDF into photoshop as bitmaps and then do the printing output. I think I shall talk to the factory and warn them next time. As far as I know, most of people here in China make gift box etc. using Coreldraw, so most of them know coreldraw files but do not know how to handle PDF files correctly.
