Best quality for printing?

Ferre · 09-30-2006, 04:32 AM

I'm designing some stuff that needs to be printed on high quality glossy paper.

Question is, what color settings (in photoshop) should I use to get the best possible end result?

RGB, CMYK, Bitmap, or Lab Color?

Well I would like to first say, you're not gona be happy with any conversion. Unless you have a properly calibrated monitor, color will most certainly be a crap shoot. Also you'll need to consider the resolution. 250-300dpi is my preference. You can go higher if you want. If your already, still, at 72dpi, you'll need to up it and start over.

Some will say stick with rgb and let the printers deal, other will scream about working in CMYK... lab color? Never used it so I couldn't say.

Others will have more, I still have yet to wake up...

Code:

Adobe RGB (1998)
Is the largest recommended RGB working space and suited for print production with a broad range of colors.

Also agree with 3ncryptabl3_lick about the 300 dpi
