CMYK is considered a device-dependent colorspace, which takes press conditions into account. So you are more, not less dependent on your printer by going for CMYK. At least, this is the theory. Anyhow, it is a good idea to discuss color with your printshop if color fidelity is an issue. -- Siep Kroonenberg _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
