RGB file export to PDF - black comes out 100%K?


Recommended Posts

I'm sending a job to a printing company from an RGB colour space publisher file.

If I export as PNG then #000000 black prints as rich black, but if I export as PDF then #000000 black seems to print as 100% K. If I send them a non colour-managed PDF from inkscape then #000000 black prints as rich black, so I'm guessing it's something about the way publisher exports to PDF rather than anything their end. 

Is it possible to change this behaviour? I can see how this might be helpful sometimes, but it's not helpful right now.

And yes, I know I could/should just work in CMYK, but there are reasons why I'm using an RGB file in this case.
