My thought is that screens are RGB. So, your screen capture begins life as RGB. This can really be any format, PNG, BMP, TIFF, whatever.

I was curious to know what process you used to create the CMYK colors from an RGB image. I assume some kind of straight conversion if the commercial printer does it. You could do that, too, in Photoshop or whatever.

I assume your commercial printer is preflighting a PDF? I assume there's no attempt to match colors visually, just a straight conversion and if colors change noticeably, it's no big deal unless they are really ugly.

My only other thought is the extra expense of having your commercial printer do your preflighting. Maybe you could save some money by creating your final FrameMaker output on a Mac, or buying Colour Chameleon yourself, and possibly by using greyscale screen captures if color is really unimportant for those.

All-in-all, was just curious about your RGB-CMYK conversion of an RGB screen capture.

Cheers,
