colors, layers and thicknesses in ctb print styles

Hello, everyone!
I thank you for all the support provided to me during the stages of my work.
I came to the press and would like to confirm the exact procedure. basically I have to print the tables with certain colors but especially thicknesses. now I have assigned to each layer a different color that will have to be then shown in print with other colors I make an example I have the layer white (black in print) and the yellow pane layer in the final print the frame will have to be black with thickness 0.5 while the always black pane with thickness 0.4.
Now to do this I have created a print style(ctb file) where to white/black color I give the thickness 0.6 while to the other layer squares give the black color and 0.4 thickness.
at this point at the printer I deliver tables and ctb files right?
basically the colors of the layers serve only to have reference in the creation of the style then there I can change the color that will be printed and the thickness! I hope I've explained well!
Thank you again!
 
a dispassionate advice: brings to the printer a pdf file, well "printed" that is well done at home, already sized and ready in everything, he will be happy, will not ask questions and on paper you will see what you had seen at home.
Of course, it is also necessary to learn how to manage .ctb files, absolutely, also because sometimes you need the "razor" precision of the cad design. but not always; and when this happens the pdf saves you from many ruin and time loss. Besides that, of course, managing the .ctb you also need to print the pdf well, but this I imagine you will already know

if you use color-dependent print styles is accurate, so not so much a layer but precisely to a color is assigned a thickness a color in print a style of restraint (line type) a retinature etc. etc.

therefore throughout the design one same color will have the same characteristics in print.
 
thanks for the answers..... excellent advice to print the pdf and deliver directly that so I would not even have problems with attached photos or bad surprises... .
 
keep in mind that for the design lines to which you assign a color with rgb component other than the aci colors will be printed with that rgb color regardless of the ctb table in use.
