CMYK Conversion Settings

These are the settings we use when converting images from RGB to CMYK in Photoshop for SWOP coated jobs. If you are printing to newsprint, reduce the Total Ink Limit to between 245% - 265%. We strongly encourage you to familiarize yourself with Color Management in order to correctly maintain the color fidelity of your images.
