[Gimp-user] What final RGB adjustments before CMYK print?
Branko, that was extremely informative. Thank you. >Yeah, I thought you meant laser printers. Some people >confuse 4-color laser printers with real CMYK-capable >machines.

I've just installed seperate+ and when I get familiar with it, I'll try this out.

[Gimp-user] What final RGB adjustments before CMYK print?
Thanks folks. I didn't understand the CMYK seperator filter so I didn't use it. I'm pretty sure the printing company are using CMYK printers and apple computers - so I might ask them what color profile I should use. I'm designing on a cheap laptop so I guess the lack of calibration isn't helping. I looked at the color modes too but the only choice is sRGB, which I'm already using.

Re: [Gimp-user] A question that has never been asked....
And if you can bear one more comment. Gimp is a noun that is virtually gone from the American English language in this sense. There are lots of disparaging words that the language police are trying to remove from usage, but this one died a natural death long ago. Much like those Southwest airline attendants who got sued for saying eeny-meenie-miney-mo, you gotta be on the lookout for offense to be bothered by this. It was a pretty mild term to begin with, most often used as an adjective, and usually about oneself, e.g., "Can't play ball today, got a gimpy leg." Give it up folksif you want to clean up language, there are more better targets to hunt.
