Hi All,
Is there a simple rule when converting a RGB scans to CMYK for offset printing? I think this is one of the rare places
where BPC must be on, what about the rendering intent?
Same when printing the CMYK image to an Epson for proof, what is the rendering intent that simulates the best the final
offset print? It seems to me that *saturation* produces the best screen match. But maybe the offset print will not have
such bright colours? I have remarked that other intents mix some black with solid yellow and dull it for instance.
I'm also not sure of which option in the Epson window must be chosen for the source space: document: SWOP or proof
format: SWOP?
Thanks for any advice!
