HI Ellie,

I have just sold a picture which is being printed on a cover by a printer,
they had a lot of trouble converting the file from RGB to CYMK.

After sorting the problem we discussed the RGB/CYMK convrtion and they
told me that all inkjets work on RGB format files only large format printers
are capable of CYMK.

That said I have not seen it written anywhere!!

All the best 
Richard
