Chapter 2:
Print Workflow
In the commercial printing and publishing industry, consistent color throughout the
workflow saves both time and money. Because print professionals want to ensure that
files produce the expected color results, many prepare artwork using CMYK values
created for a specific output device. This "safe" approach ensures that CMYK color
numbers specified anywhere in the workflow are delivered to the final output device
unchanged.
Adobe Creative Suite 2 protects against unwanted CMYK color conversions, so print
professionals can continue to work in their current workflow—safely. In addition,
Adobe Creative Suite 2 offers additional color management benefits, such as consistent
color viewing across applications, and accurate soft-proofing and hard-proofing.
