Hi I asked my printer why I am getting muddy pictures in greyscale. Her explanation is as follows (in italics):
/one possible answer is because the images are originally RGB (or greyscale), so if you use PDFX1 (or just plain PDF) then all images get converted automatically to CMYK which makes then very muddy. This is because an extra layer of black gets added to all images . The preferred flavour is PDFx-3. This format keeps all colour modes in their original form. //. / I have tried to export in PDFX-3 - the preflight verifier says that the current profile is PDF/X-3 but when I move onto the Save as PDF dialogue box all the Tabs are available EXCEPT the PDF/X-3 tab which is greyed out. How do save in PDF/X-3 format? Kind regards Robin Dean -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
