who should use this work flow?
Scanners and digital cameras typically deliver color to the computer in RGB
(red, green, blue) format. By leaving the color in the images in original RGB
format, the images can then be converted on-the-fly by the application
software at the time printing is done.
Images previously saved in CMYK format can also be processed in a mixed
color work flow because color management also supports CMYK-to-CMYK
conversions at print time.
Another advantage of working in mixed color mode is that the images,
unharmed by color conversion, can be modified for reproduction on a variety
of printing technologies and printing materials at print time. Printing on
newsprint, then on gloss offset, then converting images for presentation on
the Internet is typical of the way images are managed in production in the
modern graphic arts world. Saving original RGB files is the best way to
maintain as many options as possible for output.
QuarkXPress has effective (but incomplete) controls for managing color at
print time. Though these controls provide effective color management, third-
party XTensions (Praxisoft Compass Pro XT, for example) provide more
complete control, including control over rendering intent for each image and
color specification in an XPress document.
