I'm in the process of creating a selection of gradients using different techniques to send to the printer. Getting back to the main thread - I understand about color gamuts but you lost me a bit at 'CMYK ramp' - not to worry, I think I understood most of your post. Those articles were very informative. Once again thanks for the detailed explanation - I'm so grateful there's folks like you who are willing to take time out of their day to help people like me. Banding effect of a gradient (especially on paper) depends on many things, not least the scope of the color stops and physical length of the gradient object, screen density (lpi value of rasterization, so baiscally lower lpi produces less banding), etc. sRGB), but when using a scale from dark blue to magenta, Adobe RGB would have brighter colors and would probably also produce a bit wider CMYK ramp When exporting bitmap gradients, turning off JPG compression makes also sense. When preparing the bitmap version, I am not sure whether you also want to test the effect of color gamut (e.g. Still, I'd try if rasterizing the initial vector gradient beforehand to its final size and in CMYK TIFF format (and using CMYK/8 document color mode) makes any difference in result (as that would make it unnecessary to leave any conversion / resampling job either for export routine, or for RIP). Sorry, I misinterpreted the initial situation as rgb16.jpg was mentioned at top of the post. When you suggest using a PNG image source, do you mean I should try exporting my 16-bit RGB vector object/gradient background as a PNG, and then place it back in the original CMYK/8 document as an image object? I'm currently using a rectangle with a gradient fill.

Apps like Adobe Acrobat Pro let you examine contents of the PDF and can tell which color profiles are included with images and which color spaces they use.įor a more detailed analysis, a PDF would be required.

That would cause less problems when exporting to CMYK, and would allow more or less problem free exporting using PDF/X export modes. Also, if you intend to create a PDF for CMYK printing, it would be better to use CMYK/8 document color mode. Note however that when you export using PDF 1.7 without forcing color conversion, your RGB images will not be converted to CMYK even if the destination color space is specifed as CMYK at export time. It may be that it just shows what it uses to display the opened PDF on the screen. I just checked and it dsiplays this same information for pure CMYK PDF exports.


XnView is not a proper app for prepress related operations.

When I view the exported file info in XNView MP the color profile is listed as Artifex Software sRGB ICC Color Profile ( see info.jpg ).
