I wanted to ask the group your recommendations on the best way for printing
Illustrator, InDesign and Quark documents that are using placed photographs and
spot PMS colors
with a Epson inkjet or other similar device.
The goal is to have the Epson 1280 or 2200 simulate how a CMYK proof or final
printed piece will end up looking.
Is one better than the other?
Should you keep the Illustrator, Quark, InDesign document in an RGB or CMYK
workflow?
If RGB, at what point will the file need to be converted to CMYK?
What about CMYK? Since the print driver will have to change the file to RGB then
back to CMYK, how accurate will the pre proof color be?
Can you apply the two printer profiles like you can in Photoshop or is there
another method?
If there is type and or a vector based image in the document will the type and
line art print correctly?
If the type font is a Postscript style?
Is there a work around without spending a bunch of money on a hardware or software
RIP?
If the only way is a RIP, what are the best solutions?
I have herd some work arounds for Quark is to make a Tiff of the page or to use
CompassXT with Quark to color manage
all the elements.... InDesign cannot manage EPS....
Thanks,
David Iannarelli
