Re: [NTG-context] Colormanagement
Hi, by default, really not. At http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Color_management and http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ExportPDFCMYK there some instructions how to convert files to CMYK, or how to install some extension, respectively. But I have not test these ways yet. Best wishes, Tomáš Fri, Nov 09, 2018 ve 05:03:43PM +0100 Hans Hagen napsal(a): # On 11/9/2018 4:24 PM, Jan U.

[NTG-context] Colormanagement
Hi all, I defined some colors with \definecolor like this: \definecolor [myblue] [r=0.000, g=0.314, b=0.580, c=0.98, m=0.67, y=0.03, k=0.12] \startnotmode[print] \setupcolors[cmyk=no,rgb=yes] \stopnotmode \startmode[print] \setupcolors[cmyk=yes,rgb=no] \setupbackend[ format=PDF/X-3:2003, intent={ISO Coated v2 300\letterpercent\space (ECI)}, ] \stopmode When I use "context" or "context --mode=print" everything works as expected. But! I have SVG icons I want to use in the document. They contain the above defined rgb colors. When I use --mode=print I get different colors for the SVG icons. So context converts the SVG files to PDFs but does not change the colors accordingly to CMYK. What are my options? Do I miss something? 1. Let the designer produce icons in pdf with the given cmyk colors. 2. Don't use cmyk colors at all. In fact on my home printer the printed rgb colors look brighter than the cmyk colors. This might change in the print shop when they print with the right color profile, but it makes me nervous. juh ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
