who should use this work flow?
A pre-separated CMYK work flow is recommended for those who want the
confidence of making CMYK separations for a known printing process and
printing material. Scanners and digital cameras typically deliver color to the
computer in RGB (red, green, blue) format. Converting that original color
into the colors needed for a printing process requires knowledge of the
specific device and its printing material, as CMYK conversion are printer-
paper specific.
If you know the printing device, its colorants and printing material, it is safe
to convert files to CMYK early in production using either an ICC output
(printer) profile, or another means (Photoshop separation tables, for
example) to get CMYK from the original color files.
See
converting RGB to CMYK in Adobe Photoshop for more information.
