cmyk product to send to printer - 10/4/2017 1:30:16 PM

I purchased Printshop Deluxe 4.0 after calling the number and confirming that it will create a cmyk product and save to pdf format.

When sending this completed project's pdf, my printer is opening it and saying that the file reverted to rgb.

The Encore support team has told me that in fact, this is true. I need to somehow use Everything PDF to make it retail it's cmyk qualities. But they aren't support for Everything PDF, so they cannot tell me how to do that. They sent me here. I have that program, but I cannot figure out what I am supposed to do in Everything PDF??

Will someone explain the process to me that will allow me to save my project and get it to the printer in cmyk?

Thanks!
Stephanie

I have both The Print Shop 4 and Everything PDF. Unless I am missing something, I would have said that neither product can design in CMYK nor can either product convert RGB to CMYK. So I have no suggestions to make this happen using these products.

However, it is probably unnecessary that you provide a PDF with CMYK colors. The reason a printing service requests that you do so, is that YOU can see a more realistic rendering of how the printed color will turn out. Too often, a printing service will have irate customers who submit a file with RGB colors and then are disappointed and upset when the printed colors don't look the same as on the computer screen.

By converting your colors to CMYK on your computer, you will see just how different your colors become, so you will know ahead of time before submitting your file, just what to expect when you get your printing done.

So if you are willing to accept that the printed color will be a little (generally speaking) duller, you can just submit your file with RGB color. Here's an example:




If you must submit a PDF with true CMYK color, I can suggest the program Serif Page Plus (sold by Encore.com). It includes CMYK color palettes, and can also create PDFs with CMYK color, as well as embedding fonts for true professional printing.

This is a screen snip from my Serif Page Plus program, showing some of its CMYK features.
