Please list which platform your prepress department prefers.
If a customer supplies an image or vector file in RGB, then they have seen that image on their screen or printed on a laser, etc; so when that same file is converted and printed as CMYK it's color may shift markedly. Now the image "doesn't look like it does on my screen", or "like the proofs we made", according to the customer. If the job is to print as CMYK why begin the design and production process with RGB files?
.. and on another paper... that's why RGB pictures are better!There is also an issue when a job is printed at one place then moved to another print provider.
That's a contradiction !!!I think that CMYK is better, since most designers are not educated enough to understand different profiles.
Oh, yes, they should... DTP is not Web-design, and a good screen look is not enough: there is a minimum needed printing knowledge to be able to produce good printable files, and all the good designers have some basic understanding of how print works and of what are print requirements...Designers should not be required to understand print requirements.
