Colour Space problem

[miker]

I have an RGB file that I want to leave as RGB, destined for a Fiery RIP on a Xerox digital press. If I drop the file on the Fiery, it prints as expected, but after FusionPro composition, the file is (apparently) converted to a CMYK colour space.

 

I simply can't find any options to control the PDF creation out of FusionPro with regards to colour space.

 

Is there a config file, or a discrete setting somewhere? I would just like it to go through unmanaged.

 

Thanks

Check the "Use RGB Color Space" box on the Output tab of the Composition Settings dialog. Or in the CFG file, set UseRGBColorSpace=true.

Thanks for the reply. I've tried all sorts of options, including this. Here's my output config;

 

(interesting thing; the front of my print has variable on it and is converting colour. The back has no variable and is passing the file through without conversion)

I should clarify that the "Use RGB Color Space" setting applies only to colors of content actually generated by FusionPro, such as text, frame borders and fills, and chart colors. Any graphics used in the composition, including the static background from the template PDF, remain in their original color spaces. It's recommended that any graphics used in a job meant to be printed include a color profile for proper conversion to CMYK.

 

If you see the FusionPro-generated content still coming out in CMYK instead of RGB with that setting on, please send the collected job to Support.
