We had to find nine things wrong with this InDesign document.
One of the images had the colour space as RGB, which is for web, and to fix this you can just edit the image in Photoshop and change the colour mode to CMYK and save it.
The PPI for this isn't right, the effective resolution is the result of the change of an image size in InDesign. It has been scaled to 13% of its original size which has effected the PPI. A consequence of this is that it is a large file and unnecessary processing that needs to take place.
By having the colour in registration, it uses all plates to produce this colour so is 100% of every single colour. Consequence is that it might misregister and it won't be completely black.
One of the Pantone swatches isn't being used - Pantone 363C - and so there is no point in having it because it will create an extra unneeded positive.
By selecting all unused, this shows us that the Pantone swatch isn't being used.
As this image is at the edge of the page, it should be stretched to reach the bleed for cropping purposes.
This has been scaled to 233.4% which is too big and has effected the Effective PPI to 129.
This has been scaled down too small and has created a massive Effective PPI and needs to be edited in Photoshop.
This is a jpeg file which shouldn't be used because every time you save it the quality decreases and so is bad to use in a working progress. You can edit the photo and resave it, then choose the relink option in InDesign so that you can replace it and it stays the same.
This is the wrong colour mode to be using for print.
Preflighting is what you do before you print a document - checking your document.
