Title: Grayscale info from separators/printers
We're getting pretty accurate results with our CMYK conversions, utilizing the specific CMYK ICC profiles supplied by the printers of our various 4/c jobs, from book covers to calendars. They are closely matching our monitors (softproof) to the degree possible. However, for an upcoming book that will be printed in grayscale, the "originals" are files from a variety of sources, arriving in a variety of color spaces, some tagged, some not, some in grayscale, some in RGB (even though they look B&W to the eye). Is there a preferred method for prepping the files and tagging them for the printer other than just assigning a 15% or 20% dot gain? If I can get the dot gain measurements from the printer for their quarter tones, half tones, and three-quarter tones, is it better to build that conversion, and is there a good few pages in anyone's book on this type of workflow? RWCM doesn't even have grayscale in the index. We have a bit of time, and a very cooperative printer in the Orient, and the slightly cream based paper will suck up the ink, since it is intended to be written on with pen and pencil alike.
