For the printing of P.O.D.: how to set the Adobe RGB color space

Hello and thank you in advance,

(I use InDesign CS 5.5 on a Mac).

I need set the appropriate PDF export settings

To print a book on demand, with color drawings inside on the text pages.

The instructions in Mandarin that I could find, say this:

'Submit your graphics in color space Adobe RGB, integrated withprofile.'

The big Question: how should I do that?

I know enough to start with

File-> Adobe PDF Presets-> print quality

Then I click on the Menu 'output '.

and this is where I start to get lost.

for

Color conversion...

I think I should choose "convert to the Destination.

for

Destination

I think it should be "Adobe RGB (1998).

Now to incorporate this profile.

What should I choose in virtue:

Profile Inclusion policy?

And is there anything else I should do to get these inside good printing color images?

Thanks again,

Virtually all digital printing is done via PostScript or PDF. In the first case, the PDF file is converted to use viat PostScript to Acrobat and in the latter case, the PDF file is sent directly to the digital printer.

In both cases, CMYK is actually the real destination color space. There is no true RGB printer! What is true is that non-PostScript / non PDF (laser printers generally low range and inkjet printers as well as specialized sublimation photo printers inkjet and dye) take RGB via drivers and that convert to CMYK, but I don't think that's what you deal with.

Our recommendation to Adobe for best printing results, whether for offset or digital, is to export PDF into PDF/X-4 with no color conversion using the default color CMYK (CMYK SWOP) space or if the contrary view of your print service provider, among other CMYK color spaces provided by Adobe or the print service provider themselves. FWIW, more peripheral to digital print on demand, have settings to fully emulate the SWOP CMYK printing requirements. The use of PDF/X-4 in this way allows the existing color in your document InDesign is properly tag in the output PDF file and converted to CMYK RIP the device level digital printing.

(It may also help us if you can provide a pointer to the explicit instructions provided by your print service provider.)
