Understanding Printers/Problems that occur with special dataIndexHome

The message "Cannot print RGB data" is displayed


In general, printers are able to handle RGB data, but some models, such as Image Setters that are specialized for high resolution data, can only handle CMYK images.

If you will use an output bureau for your final printout, convert your RGB data to a CMYK format before you give it to the bureau.

To convert RGB data completely into CMYK with Photoshop, for example, use the CMYK Color function.

Since there are many different image file formats, consult with the output bureau to determine the best option. Generally, TIFF is the best format to use.
