CMYK

Hey Alex,

I am sure that once upon a time I asked about the output of files being in CMYK, but was wondering if there has been any change to the answer. Because I print in that format, it would be nice to not have to adjust the colors at all when I download them. Please let me know. Thanks

Hi Julie,

No, no change. The reason for not offering that are not really changed, they're mostly technical.
The vast majority of elements in the RTD are still RGB files shown to users on an RGB device (monitor), so at the end the risk of false colors because of a massive mode change between those RGB and the CMYK you ask would be pretty high.

In short, offering a proper CMYK output could happen only when all of the design elements are natively CMYK ones as well, and simply that's not the case in 99% of times

Thanks Alex! I had hope but not high expectations. My print houses are being more particular these days so I thought I'd check. Appreciate the quick reply!
