I'll be back in Chicago for another GraphExpo, this time speaking as part of the IDEAlliance G7 Summit. If you're in town, stop in and say "Hi!"
The talk is called "Using RGB in your PDF/X Workflow," and should be an eye opener for many printers who thing that RGB is a four letter word.
Here's the session description:
When we think of PDF/X workflows, we typically think of PDF/X-1a and its promise of a file with high quality graphics, embedded fonts, and no transparency, RGB or color management. Our production workflows have evolved, however, and now transparency, RGB and color management can help make our print workflows accurate and profitable. As extended gamut printing and complete digital workflows become the norm, we need to be prepared for PDF/X-3 and PDF/X-4. These two specifications within the PDF/X family allow for and expect color-managed content in PDF files. In addition, PDF/X-4 allows transparency for workflows that take advantage of the Adobe PDF Print Engine. In this session, we will explore how to implement PDF/X-3 and PDF/X-4 workflows.
