    Word, PDF, RGB, CMYK problems for a new self publishing author - Help Please

    Thanks, but surely CMY 0%, K 100% when printed would end up a shade of grey rather than a dark black? I thought the extra CMY inks would be used to 'overprint' and further darken the colour.

    Word, PDF, RGB, CMYK problems for a new self publishing author - Help Please

    Thanks again Kyle and abc. Just a quick update - I started a trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro and played around with changing the colourspace in a PDF exported from Word. After much head scratching and research, I eventually managed to change the colourspace within the 'Print Production' options. I...

    Thanks for the responses, and apologies if I have annoyed some of you. It was not my intention. Kyle, many thanks for your positive and encouraging reply. In answer to your question, 95% of my images were taken with an iPhone 8 Plus in the best HD mode. The original JPG files on my PC...

    Word, PDF, RGB, CMYK problems for a new self publishing author - Help Please

    Thanks that’s great advice, but I want to avoid the expensive option of getting a professional to do it for me. I’ve had quotes for it which completely wipe out any profit margin I may obtain. It’s going to be a relatively short print run of 200-400 copies, and budget is tight. If I can find a...
