I read that some say not to do CMYK to CMYK conversions. I understand about RGB to CMYK and about going from RGB to CMYK to RGB to CMYK (somewhat) but ... what if I have a custom press profile I made for my Heidelberg 5 color and someone sends me files in a CMYK color space. Do I convert it to my press. If all my graphics (RGB and CMYK) have profiles attached do I convert to my press - on the fly - coming out of indesign or Acrobat? I get some files created in Eurostyle color space - quite different from my press. Am I killing myself doing the CMYK to CMYK conversion?

To add to the excellent advice from Robert and Marco, I would suggest possibly printing to ISO 12647-2 standard. You could perhaps avoid profiling your press by using the new Fogra 39 based profile from the ECI (see their previous posts a few days ago). When CMYK images created from this (and Gracol G7 and also older Fogra 27L) do start to arrive from customers, there would be no need to do CMYK - CMYK conversions. |
