Thanks!

Hi Keri,
About the 4 color Balck, yes, the "Convert to destination" option is making the black to convert to CMYK because it is using simple profile. The way to color manage the whole ducument, is to use ICC DeviceLink profiles, which allows to define exceptions like preserving the Black as Black.

If you are interested to get more information about ICC DeviceLink, you can visit our web site and take a look at PerfX Device Linkā„¢ tool. We have many customers using it (with Prinergy or other workflow) for color management AND ink optimization (saving).

Hope this will help!
