Printing RGB?

  I'm going to go against the grain here and recommend converting to CMYK before hand off. The reason being, inkjet and colour laser use CMYK inks (some use additional inks but generally, it's CMYK). If you give them an RGB file there's going to be a conversion in there somewhere, and you won't be the one making the decisions on how the file is converted. (ie: will rendering intent be perceptual? relative? saturation?, is that bright 255 red that won't reproduce better as an orange/red or a magenta/red in the composition?)

  When you do the conversion, you get to make those decisions in areas that dumb software doesn't consider.
