Hello.
Is there any advantage in converting grayscales to CMYK?
One senior designer at a place I'm currently working rants hysterically that by converting to CMYK you get a deeper 'richness' in the final image, but I'm thinking all you get is muddy looking blacks.
We're printing on uncoated stock with a 20% dot gain. Things aren't helped much by the quality of the 'grayscales' which invariably come over as RGB files at a less than desireable dpi for their intended output.
I'm just wondering whether there's any advantage to going this route at all...
Many thanks in advance.
