In principles, what your client replied sounds OK. I place my files all
the time as RGB in InDesign and either let InDesign convert to CMYK at
print time or at Export to PDF time. It works either way. If they say
they have a custom CMYK profile better tuned to their press then by all
means give it a try. Are they going to show you proofs anyway? (here we
go again--proofs!)

Hello Colour folk
I have just had the following email exchange with a new client:
I wrote:
Could you please advise as to what sort of CMYK you would like?
Specifically:
Custom profile if you have one or
Preferred sep (perhaps US Sheetfed CoatedV2? - I have had good
results with this profile).
And in any case TIL minimum dot and max black would be helpful.
I see you are printing 175 lpi and assume you will be happy with
300ppi files?
I presume we can leave you guys in charge of final sharpening once the
images are sized?
To which they replied:
Don't worry about converting to CMYK just supply us with original RGB
files from scanner or digital camera. Not CMYK files converted back
to RGB though. We have a custom CMYK profile that is applied when we
output PDF's from Indesign for this printer. Generally we only
convert to CMYK when outputing the print file. RGB's are better for
any Photoshop we might want to do as well.
And I replied:
I just need to confirm that your software is setup to honour embedded
profiles (which will be AdobeRGB1998) and not discard/ignore them as
some RIPs do!
I await a response from them but does anyone think there is more I can
do to safeguard this job?
