Printing color is a tough road. Consider greyscale for your screen captures. Consider: 1) Getting a print vendor and working with them as early as possible. 2) PNG won't work for your source graphics--it is RGB. Go TIFF (and convert them to EPS, I guess, to get CMYK out of Windows). 3) Monitors are RGB. Print is CMYK. Somewhere you must do a conversion. 4) "Prime" colors--what are those? Consider Pantone Spot Colors or CMYK definitions. 5) Windows won't do it, the Windows OS that FrameMaker uses to print the PostScript converts spot and CMYK--except EPS files--to RGB. You must: a) Convert all your color items to EPS before creating your PDF/PostScript for press (this'll certainly work for the logo). b) Buy a tool like Colour Chameleon <http://www.grafikhuset.dk/ColourChameleon.htm> to fix the PostScript/PDF color information. c) Do your work on a Macintosh. 6) Seriously consider hiring someone who knows about color, Windows, and offset press to mentor you through this first process. Cheers, Sean
