Re: [PRODIG] Sending CMYK files to inkjet printers

[Andy D'Angelo]

yes your info is accurate...although inkjet printers "print" with CMYK inks, they are designed to receive data in RBG( and they then convert on the fly) so your color would not be as good/accurate if you were sending injet printers CMYK files as they would first convert to RBG and then again convert to CMYK. I have no idea why they do this.
Usually I save my original in what ever color space I have captured it under (for my work it is RBG) and then do a conversion for offset(for example) AND save the new image as a CMYK file. The original never gets changed.
