    Do you ever set up a print file for a professional printer using RGB?

    Do you ever use RBG or CMYK instead of Pantone when printing a file?

    • Easiest answer. Ask your printer.pango

    • a) no, colours will go to cock and printer will know you're an idiot
      b) cmyk yes, but some colours will be less intense than pantone      hans_glib
    • unless you're printing hexachrome in which case rgb is finehans_glib
    • On demand printers deal with this all the time. RGB files uploaded then CMYK ripped. Purple blues, green blacks. Oh so much fun.imbecile
    • A good printer can rip to CMYK from RGB for good results. Personally I HATE prepping CMYK images on my computer.monospaced
    • Fuck CMYK
      ********
    • Fuck print, frankly. Fucking hate it.

    • Pantone can't do gradients or transparencies or other layering effects, so yeah CMYK is pretty common in printing...i_monk
    • Pantone's just a single ink - as C, M, Y or K are individually - all of those can be halftoned into oblivion = gradient.detritus
