Re: Illustrator issue

Don't really understand what you're asking. Was that an image traced to vector? Do you have a stroke around that image?

What version are you using? CS3 or 4?

Illustrator is better for creating vector art, for catalogs I've always used InDesign. You've got more control and better management over large printing projects.

Yeah, I'm not to sure what you're asking as well. One of the blue lines looks like a guide.

If you're looking to just add a blue line around an object, just give it a stroke with no fill.

Not sure if that helps ya or not?

Re: Illustrator issue

I think that what you are trying to do is that this line is a stroke for an embellishment with a UV coating and you need to save it as a separate layer or an alpha channel, talk to your printer too

thats right, all those blue gray lines around the ring are on a separete layer/group for putting some uv coating so in the final printing it looks kinda like bright or plastic....

thanks for the responses
