Update I did some testing here. I used a tif and eps image I created in photoshop and applied a pantone 216 gradient. I imported both images into Frame 9.0. I used the save as pdf function and made sure I unchecked the box that converts colors to rgb. I printed to a cmyk printer here that outputs at 600 dpi and another that outputs at 1200 dpi. I compared the results to our pantone swatch we have.
Seems the 600 dpi printer was very close to the swatch - a maroon or burgundy if you will. The 1200 dpi printer was darker and a different color almost a purple. I think I have my answers.
