james_h Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share #2 Â Posted March 2, 2007 Can anyone enlighten me on the implications of switching to CMYK prior to printing? I was told the printer uses CMYK and that you get better results.?? Â - I thought more people would post their workflows and it seemed a good idea at the time.

Â - I thought more people would post their workflows and it seemed a good idea at the time. Â regards Jim I'd been led to believe that CMYK was a more limited gamut than either sRGB or Adobe RGB and that it was used when preparing an image for something using CMYK like magazine printing. I print to an Epson and I use Adobe RGB as my working space. But I'd certainly like to hear from an expert too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no need for you to do the conversion yourself and you will definitely shrink the gamut.  Woody Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted March 2, 2007 Share #5 Â Posted March 2, 2007 I can get dedicated profiles from my printer service to apply to my files before sending them in or let their profiler do the job - What would you prefer, experts? Now I supply tiff post-processed up to and including sharpening, but I have read that it is best to control the whole process from beginning to end. (excuse my layman description, I am on this learning curve since the M8 gave me this great raw material to work on....) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
