Inkjet Myths Exposed

1. Review files for text composed as rich black instead of black. Rich black is the composite additive color that means you are laying down cyan, magenta, yellow and black. In the world of inkjet, all that does is add ink and water, diluting the sharpness of the black. Designers who create for offset often use this technique to get a richer black, but that same technique applied to inkjet produces a muddier black.
2. Review the color management of images in the document. Taking black out of the images through profiling and other techniques allows the color to come through vibrantly.
3. Ensure you are starting with as much data as possible. Image objects that were created for the red/green/blue Internet delivery channel at 72 dpi will never bring brilliant color to an inkjet-printed project.

Avoid the myth, and add color management to your tool kit.
