It might be of advantage if you get the rgbs because if you are not sure who and how they separated the result will probably be worse.In most cases the lack of understanding results from and to not wanting to pay for the professional separation. >They certainly haven't heard of out of gamut >colours and may wonder why >their images with all those screaming oranges, >purples and lime greens >don't appear in print they way they did on their >computer screens.

I don�t know about your budget but quite a few prepress people use helios ImageServer 2.5, formerly HELIOS EtherShare OPI, for server-based image transformation, repurposing and conversion. This allows automated conversion of file format, resolution, color space, and compression, for web and print needs, OPI image replacement, server-based ICC Color Management, color separation, and proof printing capabilities ....--> www.helios.de The best part is though it runs excellent on MacOSX!
