I should have a RGB AND CMYK profile in my document?

It is clear - I'm a Dum-Dum Indesign. I have problems with a booklet that I print.  The same color of blue is printing very differently.  Two blue objects on the same page so differently that one of the objects looks purple print, and is considered the blue, I was expecting.  I did a bit of reading forum, and I wonder if the problem is that I cut and pasted some graphs in Illustrator, who may use a different color profile than InDesign.

Enter my dialog box "Assign profile" selected buttons indicate that I use both CMYK and RGB color profiles.  Maybe that's the problem?  If you use the profile only one color in a document which requires the same color consistency?

Update:

I just checked the color profile of one of the graphics that I imported from Illustrator, and it is a CMYK document.  As far as I know, my ID document has been also implemented CMYK.  What I've done so far is: entered in attribute profiles and disabled the RBG profile, leaving only the active CMYK profile.  But is it possible that I use two different CMYK profiles, and that's where the problem lies?  If so, how to convert at the same profile so that the blue color is consistent throughout this brochure?

Thank you very much!

Can you give me any advice will be much appreciated!

Thank you

These fine technical answers are probably tell you more you need to know...  Basically, if you create a document and you want to 100% match, you will work in the space of a single color, only and with a working profile.  Assigning will change the appearance of colors, but depending on the circumstances, may lose the link fatally to original color values.

Keep a profile when you create the objects.

If you use an object that was created in a different work profile and this profile is tied/embedded, you can convert but not assign, affect the will perhaps break the color management and alter the appearance.  The only time where you must assign is if the object has already assigned profile and that you assign is the good that should have the object.

As mentioned, appying effects such as feathers etc. can cause changes of colour of the original intent also.

Opportunities to combine native RGB and CMYK objects and get a full match are small, as the colors are often converted by accessing the largest laboratory as an intermediate translation (among others) color space and the result is not symmetric (if you go there and back, you do not get the same result) and it is rounded values that causes small displacements.  These changes aren't bad for web stuff but results are often unusable in the press.

Depending on your settings in InDesign, you can properly managed color in various objects that looks bad on the screen but to properly convert PDF for printing too... but that's another story!

Keep things simple, to work in a space!

  • Why the relative values of RGB and CMYK will not change when switching between Photoshop and InDesign?

    I'm trying to put together a Guide to color for my company's brand guidelines.

    Initially, I worked for InDesign and copied all H, RGB and CMYK values that I had when I went in an eye my original color palette.

    However when I put the same values of RGB in Photoshop I gives me a (somewhat) a different set of CMYK numbers than I had initially documented in InDesign.

    Why is this?

    It makes me feel a bit nervous leaving aside CMYK all together...

    CMYK is essential for a company's brand guide. The printer ask again, it's a simple and direct question. If they cannot answer this fundamental question, that speaks well of their professional standards. It is a common practice and highly standard procedure. I do it all the time (and get answers directly in the world).

    That said, if this guide in general and not necessarily related to this particular printer, it might be preferable, specify a profile which is commonly used as a general practitioner in your area. It depends on where you are. Here in Europe, it would be either Coated FOGRA39, ISO Coated v2 300% (eci).

    In the United States, I guess us Web Coated (SWOP) v2 would be on a list, not because it's necessarily just for the purpose, but simply done to be the default Photoshop. Printers must get loads of the present. Same here in Europe, where this profile is never used any where, a lot of people use it just because it is the default value of the PS and it never gets turned into something more appropriate.

  • Photos of RGB and CMYK PDF

    Hello

    The press asked me to create a file PDF of CMYK to print. Do I need to change all the photos I have of RGB to CMYK, or is it enough for just the print to PDF with CMYK properties?

    Export to PDF using the press setting will automatically convert RGB to CMYK.

  • Change of colors in RGB and CMYK format objects

    I recently updated day at CS6 and 10.8 OS...  Im working in several Illustrator docs using a 100-87-32-32 color. When I change the objects of this color by typing inside the color palette, it changes. If I click on, go away and come back to change the 100-82-36-29 or something similar.

    Retain certain objects and others lag. What gives?

    I think I copied vector elements in Illustrator from other programs and it has retained some of the metadata of color conversion. After copy, or outlining, I seem to be able to change and ask to hold the new color. There must be a bug, but on several elements that was going on.

  • is the driver for win 8 for the printer photosmart D7360 RGB or CMYK?

    Hello

    I'll use Lightroom 4.2 (under win 8 64) and will have calibrated the monitor and the printer (HP Photosmart D7360) by colormunki photo.

    When the printer profile is generated by colormunki, according to the real printer driver, they will be RGB or CMYK profile.  Apparently, 4.2 LR will only show printer profiles to use if the printer driver is of type RGB.  So if it's CMYK, I would not be able to use the printing profile in LR.

    Is someone can you please tell me if this printer driver is RGB or CMYK?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Kind regards

    The pilot waiting for RGB data.  The real color in the printer inks use CMYK, but managed by the driver, applications need to send RGB data to the driver.

  • RGB to CMYK conversion in artificial intelligence

    Hi, my printing says a RGB file I sent him, and he needs to CMYK for printing.

    (1) how can I know that the original file is RGB color mode?

    (2) how to convert file have RGB CMYK AI file?

    Thank you very much!!!

    lhcheng,

    (1) file > Document Color Mode.

    (2) tick CMYK instead of RGB.

    You should be aware that the colors RGB and CMYK are fundamentally different, so more likely, you will need to create at least a few colors again, and you have to accept some inevitable changes.

    Many RGB colors will be changed to CMYK rather muddy and messy, as you can see in the color palette when you select CMYK.

    And a lot of bright colors will become less.

  • I have a corrupt user profile. Windows XP. When I add a new can be the same, or should be different. And the user's profile should match the user ID?

    Corrupted user profile

    I have a corrupt user profile.  Windows XP. When I add a new can be the same, or should be different.  And the user's profile should match the user ID?

    If the profile has recently become corrupted, you can probably get the same user by performing a system restore operation:

    "Windows XP problems if your profile is corrupted"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326688 >

    Otherwise, you will need to create another user and copy your data.  The simplest procedure is here:

  • Possible to let Illustrator determine colors, and THEN choose the CMYK profile?

    Hello

    I'm new to Illustrator and asked for the help of printing options!

    I have CS2.

    Then, I set the color management in Bridge and my works in Europe ISO Coated FOGRA39 or profile 27 tag.

    When I print them in Photoshop, everything works as expected, so that in the printer dialog, you can choose "let Photoshop determine colors" and choose the match Europe ISO coated profile from the list. Fine.

    But then I take this same tagged CMYK .psd file into Illustrator and try to print it.

    I can only choose "Let illustrator determine colors" because I don't have a postscript printer.

    Here is where the problem begins:

    Now should I choose a profile that illustrator uses to print, but there is no available CMYK profile. Only RGBs.

    Why is this? Is it not possible to choose any CMYK profiles?

    Or do I have to do anything other than the marking CMYK image?

    I also tried without ICC profile labeled, but here also only RGB profiles are available

    I know this is probably a stupid question, but I can't find any decent answers in internet,

    so please help me!

    Thank you guys!

    You can select the printer that will give you profiles CMYK postscript from adobe.

    Print the postscript and distillit it.

    zOOpen in Acrobat and print from your printer now, you have a postscript printer.
