Why do printers charge so much for doing these conversions?
Surely it's just a case of changing the colour mode of the file in photoshop
Have i missed something?

Hi Elliot. Try converting a photo from RGB to CMYK. Some times the colours go a bit mute

yeah, it's your job as designer to provide print ready work. not the printers job.

Sorry i should have mentioned I was flicking through a London printers service price list and noticed they charge £15 for it! I don't need it done : )
I was just wondering whether all they did was change it in photoshop or they did it another way
James those New York photos are amazing!

Yeah true Save. Send it to a repro house, they can handle all that.

try converting an rgb image that has a good load of black in it to a cmyk. it'll need some tweaking i'm sure.

try to convert an rgb illustrator file into a cmyk illustrator file. i'd charge way more + like others have said before it isn't just a matter of converting.
