RE: [Digital BW] Why back to RGB in B&W workflow?

2003-11-13 by Paul Roark

Andrew,

Are you asking about this in the context of a B&W/"quad" inkset or a color
inkset?

Subject: [Digital BW] Why back to RGB in B&W workflow?



Can someone explain to a relative novice, why it is , in many
worflows I've read, a grayscale file of a B&W image is converted back
into RGB before printing? How will the print differ if the grayscale
file is printed?

It's prob very obvious so no one ever explains it, so I've never seen
the explanation anyewhere.

Thanks,

Andrew
