Re: File Preparation for 4 color Grayscale offset printing



Majority of the magazines we submit files to require a 4 color file and proof printed to SWOP standards.

If you're trying to print grayscale in a 4 color environment, then don't convert at all. Just leave the images grayscale. Any conversion into a CMYK colorspace is gonna' introduce CMY into the image, which will increase the probability of casting on press (which is what Martin was alluding to).


If you require the images to be in a 4 color space for proofing purposes, then just use the grayscale image to populate the black channel of a CMYK image.
